Sherry found this hilarious video of a guy turning the tables on a telephone scammer who can barely speak English and wants the victim to pay delinquent Federal taxes to IRS by purchasing Target gift cards. There are too many obvious signs that this call is a scam to even count; but some people still fall for these.
There is one very interesting twist to this phone call that I have never seen described in any other accounts of similar scam IRS calls. After the intended victim reveals that he is screwing with the scammer, the scammer basically claims to be a Pakistani terrorist follower of Osama Bin Laden. Has our FBI looked into the possibility that the IRS imposters are funding Islamic terrorist organizations?

It’s not bad enough that people have had to deal with scammers posing as IRS personnel via threatening phone calls and emails. Now IRS has enlisted the services of four private sector collection agencies to squeeze money out of delinquent tax(non)payers. They tried this approach a few years ago and quietly dropped it as unsuccessful. I have no idea why they expect better results this time.
How long do you think it will be before scammers will be impersonating these companies and trying to harass people into paying them for bogus tax debts? I’m guessing those scumbags will be on the prowl within days from now.
The IRS promise to protect taxpayers from abuses by these outside collectors fails to instill any confidence after the agency’s continuing inability to protect us against criminal abuses by their own employees, such as Lois Lerner and John Koskinen.

Hopefully, this is the first of many similar headlines we will be seeing. Everyone knows that there is no shortage of flagrant lawbreakers in the current (second term) and previous (first term) bHo Regimes.

Here’s a perfect example, in today’s news, of how insane it is to expect the IRS to seriously investigate the crimes of the Clinton Family Crime Foundation.
Judicial Watch has been doing the job that the elected Republican leaders should have been doing. While it is extremely unlikely that anyone at IRS will ever be punished for any of the crimes they committed in persecuting opponents of the DemonRat Party, the exposure of the extent of those crimes is helpful in understanding how the ruling class functions in Washington DC, the District of Corruption.

It’s not a good feeling to realize that we are all forced, at the point of a gun, to reveal every single bit of our financial information to our overlords at the IRS, who can’t seem to do a very good job of protecting that information from the (other) bad guys who want to steal our money and our identities. And, as if that isn’t bad enough, when the top dogs at IRS are confronted with these facts, they lie about how extensive their security lapses are. This lack of honesty isn’t actually very surprising, considering the IRS Commissioner’s penchance for committing perjury in his own congressional testimony.
