Scammers perusing our classifieds...

[Hipshot]

A few years back when the IRS scammers were trying to scam money I got a call from a Indian dude that said his name was Chris Smith and was an IRS agent, He told me I owed 3,900.00 or so dollars and that if I didn’t pay I was going to jail ! I asked him if it was because of my Camel business ? He said, I believe so, I told him the camels were too young to sell for the meat and hide yet and I was having to pay to feed them and therefore not making any money, then I told him I would be selling them in a year or two when they matured and could get a lot of money for the hides and meat then I asked him if he liked camel toes and he told me no, I said, I heard they’re a delicacy, and some people like them with hair and some without and was he sure he didn’t like them? He kept trying to tell me I owed money and how to send it to him, and I kept asking him about camel toes until he finally figured it out and he very politely said, “ Sir, you can take your camels and their toes and shove them up your ass” I was in my Ins. office with two agents who are good friends, and we were all rolled in the floor laughing

The Camel business has been tough this year

I get the messages all the time that I owe back taxes, if I will call they have a deal that will erase all the back tax I owe.
Every time I travel a little bit, say 50 miles or so I will get them more often.
I suppose it is from my phone pinging different cell towers or something.
I think my phone has Covid.

I'm retired and I have the time and enough coffee to screw around with these bozos alllllllllllll day long.

We used to "complete" at the office to see who could keep them on the phone the longest. One of the guys had one on the phone for over 30 minutes. He's a "Legend"!

……I didn’t even have the patience to read through the message string.

Thanks for the heads-up. I had posted a few years back that I was looking for a certain gun. Had two people with Michigan area codes contact me and neither had any history with OSA which screamed scammer to me.

I believe I had contact with them, also. Turned everything over to PD. Who, of course, done NOTHING.

Speaking of scammers, neither Tiffany, Bubbles or Candy are texting me at 3 am anymore inviting me to party. Does that mean I've lost my charm?

I had a Ruger SP101 listed on the old Armslist. Got the old "will pay asking plus, sending a check for $xxxx, cash and ship gun, with Wally gift cards to FFL."

FFL was expired, in Seattle. Ship to was Iowa. DL was different name and address.

Told "him" I don't do illegal sales or SCAMS.

Canceled posting.
Reposted 2 weeks later.
3 days, I get a letter, different return address in Iowa. Enclosed check for $3800. Copy of same expired FFL. Instructions to send Wally gift cards, after cashing check, keep asking price on gun, shipping and $100 "for my trouble".

Called ATF. They said it was State matter.
Called OSBI. They said it was local matter.
Took it all to PD, they laughed, took everything and said they would send it to OSBI.

Never heard back.
