Hey everyone, after bombarding these scammers with prank calls and awful jokes, I decided to see what they'd do if I used their script against them. Enjoy!

The scam: Someone claiming to be with the IRS or from the "Criminal Investigation Department" of the IRS will call and say
that the police will arrest you or you will go to jail if you don't pay them a certain amount right away. They'll say they have
"allegations" or a "lawsuit" against your name or account and that you need to go to a Western Union/Moneygram to wire an officer or department the money. It's all a complete scam of course. The IRS will never call out of the blue. Screw these scammers!
