IRS Scammers Payback

in #life7 years ago

Lately, I've been receiving frequent calls from the East coast (USA) - numbers are always unlisted and when they leave messages it's about me owing money to the IRS; not only that, but threats of my arrest if I don't pay. By the way, the IRS will always send you an official letter, so I know this is the handy work of IRS scammers.

If you've ever been the target (or worse, a victim) of IRS Scammers - read the article below and watch the video. While it doesn't prevent you from being targeted or get your money back (if you paid) - it does deliver a little justice on your behalf. In the video, a hacker floods the scammers' call center with incoming calls making it virtually impossible for them to continue their 'business'. If only for a brief moment, it's nice to see the frustration and anger the scammers feel. My linking of this article and video is a thank you to the hacker and hopefully brings you the same warm fuzzy feeling it did me.
