IRS scams - call for action

I believe the poster gave you the name Yet Here. Comprende? [:]

I asked the moderator to remove all of the off topic posts above, including the first one with the question about my postings. I would also welcome this list being closed to any further comments.

I think there are more important issues here on 800notes that we can all concentrate on.
In fact I question if the time has come to lock one of these IRS threads.

Please, it would be great if you could intervene to lock this thread after it is cleaned up!

5 minutes ago, I sent the IRS a copy of this email:                                                                                                                                 Just received a call from:  626-574-9227  telling me that 'they were from the IRS and had been trying to get in touch with me regarding money owed.'

Even if I hadn't seen the 60 Minutes piece about that minister (He had to have either been guilty or a complete and utter moron to have even remotely thought that the IRS would tell him to send them $20,000 in gift cards).   Even as a senior citizen, I knew immediately that this was spam.  Hope this email will save at least one person.

Just in case anyone is interested in the original thread topic, the Senate has a hearing today on the IRS scam. Also seems first arrests have been made.

Most of us have already done that since this is a redundant thread. We are waiting for Administration to do so. [:]

Merci beaucoup!
