Hey all, had some fun with these fake IRS scammer, "Kelly" and "Kevin". They were wary of my shenanigans at first, but I showed them the way. Once I eased their minds, they moved quickly and tried to get me to pay about $4000, HA.

The scam: Someone claiming to be with the IRS or from the "Criminal Investigation Department" of the IRS will call and say
that there is a warrant out for your arrest for not paying your taxes from previous years. The scammers will then tell you to go to a Moneygram or Western Union and wire them the "amount due" immediately, so that your arrest warrant can be cancelled. It's all a complete scam of course. The IRS will never call out of the blue. Screw these scammers!
