(470) 200-0082 Robo call recorded 30 June 2016 (IRS Law suit regarding an enforcement action executed by US Treasury intending your serious attention...) SCAM (readers, try not to laugh, it gets even better)
Caller ID: "Conyers GA"

An early call from the IRS impersonators riddled with awkward English and demonstrating lack of knowledge of legal suits and court proceedings.

The call almost sounds professional (except for a subtle grammatical error that somebody with a 6th grade education would probably notice. I don't want to specifically mention the error and rough spots in case these scammers are savvy enough to do Internet research on their own spoofed phone numbers, why give them the benefit of my critique to help them make their patter sound more professional than the horse manure it is?) but you know these are foreign scammers calling because of peculiarities in their wording (they pronounce the letter "v" more like the letter "w", peculiar to India and Russia) that sounds more like a non native English speaking person.

Anybody with half a brain cell working would probably know immediately that the call is not from the IRS, but then again, there are a lot of gullible people out there answering their telephones, so I guess scammers like these are able to stay in business.

Calls himself "Steve Martin". Does he wear a white suit and have a fake arrow through his head whilst strumming a ukulele? Does he sometimes speak with an Inspector Clouseau French accent?

Oh, and how about their brilliant opening sentence: "This message is intended to contact you." Duh...

"[male India accent voice] "Hi this message is intended to contact you. My name is Steve Martin and I'm calling regarding an enforcement action executed by US Treasury intending your serious attention. Ignoring this will be an intentional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before a Magistrate judge or a Grand Jury for a federal criminal offense. My number is 470 200-0082. I repeat, 470 200-0082. I advise you to cooperate with us and help us to help you. Thank you."
