Man Behind IRS-Impersonation Scam Sentenced To 14 Years In Prison
One of the more insidious scams of this decade has been the IRS impostor phone scam, where someone posing as a police officer or federal agent calls you up and threatens to arrest you over your tax balance. Of course, that balance is payable immediately by prepaid debit card. A Pennsylvania man who pleaded guilty earlier this year to running such a scam from 2011 until his 2013 arrest has been sentenced to 175 months in prison and $1 million in forfeiture for his crimes.
We must be a gullible nation of people.Scammers would not exist if we were otherwise.Many years ago when caller ID first came out I thought the scam issue would take a serious blow or go away completely.That only caused the scammers to get more creative.
I wonder how much time Lerner will get , she scamed the entire nation , of course with approval from Obama.
