2:04:14 So, luckily we don't have to deal with ratings. Thank goodness! So did you get clip C? I did. It looks pretty long Yeah, so you can play as long as you want. So I got the scam call finally. I teased this on my Twitter Oh, I didn't know about this okay what's going on? I teased this Cool cool So i got to scam call and luckily it was great because sometimes you get a scam call and You wanna record but the way you can record legally Generally speaking in California, since there's all these rules about wiretaps. If you put it on a speakerphone then there is no... and you record from the speaker phone so just record the speakerphone conversation. So luckily this call came in which I couldn't record in time saying that I was being audited by IRS and going to be arrested
2:05:05 I'm gonna be arrested and i better call this number right away. This is the scam that we talked about on the show a couple weeks ago? Yeah, it's great! All righty... And so it's out of India or something they got the cheapest lines Wait now was this you talking to the scammer? Yeah! Ah dynamite So I called-I called the number I put my recorder on and recorded the call and here's how it went. This call may be recorded for security Thank you for calling the Internal Revenue Service. Yeah, I got a phone call that said to call you. You received a phone call on the same number you're calling from? Yeah! Okay may i have your first and last name? Yeah Frank Roosevelt Hello
2:05:53 Yeah, Frank...Frank Roosevelt. This is- this takes me back to the day of the Jerky Boys. Yeah! Totally. Fabulous! Okay Mr. Roosevelt may I have your zip code please? Yeah 9 4 7 07 Okay Mr. Roosevelt ummm I believe that earlier- Mr. Roosevelt what a fine administration you put together back in the day I believe that earlier when you received the phone call we were trying to ascertain your attorney's information as there are legal allegations on your name and a lawsuit has also been filed by the Internal Revenue Service. So, are you aware about the case? No! I never heard of it until now Okay sir can you grab a piece of paper and pen with you Yeah hold on one second okay go ahead
2:06:48 Alright, first of all note down your case number. Okay It is 202 Uh-huh IR11 Okay And also note down my badge ID Oh! Badge ID? Ooh My badge ID Yeah what is it? It's 712 What? 712 Did he say Vag ID or badge ID? It was a little unclear. Just 712031 I'm sorry, 712... 031... 031...712031 Yes, that is correct Okay
2:07:39 I love the boiler room in the background Boiler room and this guy's long pauses in the boiler who comes to the volume comes up. Yeah, this is like some compresses Shitty compression it's just sucking in soot sucking in all the background Okay what else Now, once you've completed the auditing role in the bank... Listen to me very carefully. Recently an audit program was conducted on your tax returns for the taxes that you have filed in between the years of 2009-2013 I believe that you do file your taxes every year right? Yes I do
2:08:26 The auditors calculated your tax returns on the basis of your financial institutions and sources of income. Now they came to know that there are numerical miscalculations on your tax returns." Oh, numerical miscalculations! Are you worried at this point? Are you really...are you sweating it? "...the taxes that you have filed are not matching with the actual records we have under Yes, so at this point of time...
2:09:09 And he thinks that because apparently, because I did a little research before i called this operation. People hang up constantly so they're hanging up in the middle of everything and it's getting time to get time. I would have been gone when you said hello! So when I had...so when I did the research Found that a lot that these guys on their side would hang up on The caller a lot when they started grilling them or saying anything a little off-base, right? I just hang up and go to the next person. So I had to be careful that they didn't hang up on me Curiously by the time this was done if you do I know we're gonna get that far in this thing I'm kind of liking it. I have to say well at the very end the guy hangs up on me
2:09:51 He hung up on me when I don't and it didn't blow it. Let's listen to it, okay? Go I want to hear could you also give us the number everyone in the chat room wants to call their friend their new Indian friend I will get a number let's call them yeah, I have the numbers we should all call hello This is Frank Roosevelt Frank Rosa calling back coming back You look up the number. What did he say? About a house in Washington, D.C.? What did he say? He said that they're going to file their complaint in 45 minutes. Oh no!
2:10:41 But before we do that, we have to ask you a few questions as well. My first question would be that have you done this miscalculations by any intention to defraud the Internal Revenue Service or not? Indentured service is what I heard. I don't know if that's all John's probably getting the number no No, I'm sorry you of course not Wait I gotta ask John what he said yeah? Did you have any indentured servants or something no listen to that again? That was pretty weird Oh original revenue sir no here we go
2:11:38 Intention to defraud the Internal Revenue Service. Oh, intention to inform the Revenue Service? Defraud the Internal Revenue Service or not. Oh intentionally trying to defraud them! No! Oh my god! Hell yeah! He said did you intentionally try to defraud the Internal Revenue Service is that what he said?! Yeah! I thought that was crazy! Oh sorry no i'm sorry you of course not Alright, so you have not done this miscalculations by any intention right? No it would make no sense why would I do that. What was the number what... How much do i owe can I just pay it At this point of time Mr. Roosevelt there is an outstanding tax liability of $2411 still pending on your name
2:12:29 Now if you have not done this miscalculations by any intention then according to the federal courthouse there are two options available with you. Oh here we go does it involve your credit card at any point John? Curiously, well take care of this matter would like me to go through them yes please all right according to Federal Courthouse Option number one states that if you think that there is nothing wrong with your tax returns, if you have enough evidence to prove these things then you can hire a criminal... hello? Yeah go ahead. You can hire a criminal lawyer or something? Is that what he's saying? Yeah! Wow Then in that case you- you can hire our criminal attorney and dispute the case inside the courthouse Oh nice
2:13:22 Well, that's a thank you for calling me. I feel so much better now. Yeah, Washington DC. I'm protected and protected okay What's the other option? This guy can barely read the script he's having a lot of trouble with it It's almost there almost and we're almost at the big bail go on Yes, option number two states that if you're not... Hello? Yeah I'm here. Hello! Can you hear me sir? Yeah I can hear you fine. Alright option number two states that if you are not looking for any legal actions to be taken on your name If you are not looking forward to avoid... hello? Sir hello? Yeah what?
2:14:17 No, the line is breaking sir. Allow... Well your line is breaking. Your line is breaking it's a very poor line I'm surprised that the IRS has such a crappy crappy phone line. Well Mr. Oswald this is the Audit and Commission Department so what else can you expect? What did he say?! What did he say was his answer? He says this is the auditing department what else can you expect That's funny. This is only ad-libbed the whole time! It was a good one though, I like it. Yeah what? Well your line is breaking... Your line is breaking. It's a very poor line and I'm surprised that the IRS has such a crappy phone line
2:15:00 Well, Mr. Oswald this is the Audit and Commission Department so what else can you expect? I'm very sorry for that So not an issue option number two states that if you are looking forward not to have any legal actions To be taken on your name then you can go for a settlement outside the courthouse between you and the Internal Revenue Service Oh good What option would you choose? I think the settlements probably cheaper Which option do you choose Think the settlement is cheaper Yes, I can pay that easy okay the chat room is guessing $500 so far it may be more or less we'll find out Can I just let me just write a check to the IRS no Hello
2:16:01 Yes, can I just write a check? In that concern Mr. Roosevelt... yes in that concern Mr. Roosevelt.. I would like to inform you that your banking information's Oh! Your bank Hello? Hello? Hello? Yes. In that concern Mr. Roosevelt i would like to inform you that the ranking informations we have under your name states that Yes, hello. What? Yeah Did you get did you give the wrong answer I guess so because it was he couldn't find it in the script He said they started off by saying that banking information under your name is then there was a pause And then he who's fumbling around through this script which is probably pretty big
2:17:00 And so he's fumbling around looking for his what is it called jump cuts? What does that thing called skip logic skip logic He's looking around for the skip logic and you know skipping to the thing You can't find it in time, and they just cut him off or they could heat. They kind of oh he came up I have no idea but I got the number people can call it all right well hold on first you deserve this We put a lot of effort into this show. No kidding, so uh... Alright give us the number. There's the number that he gave and there apparently is a bunch of these if you look this number up You'll find alternative numbers in fact if you look up IRS scam mmm You will find a bunch of numbers to call but we want the exact number you called So we can try it the number I called was 8 1 3
2:17:50 614-5693. And can I have the last four of your social, please? Yeah, I have it is 1115. Actually what I did before I made the call...I figured out the name and it was going to be Frank David Roosevelt FDR. And I created a social security number, which they never asked for. Which really stunned me. 646333... get it? 1115 But i never used it and didn't have to because he never asked for it but if I was one of the jokers out there who were gonna call this you could say your Frank Delano or Frank Roosevelt calling back because they hung up on you
2:18:37 Because you heard the call. I like it, I like it! You can take it from there. Take it from there! I think I will call as Frank Underwood. I have no idea why you've been calling me Mr India? So... you could probably use pretty much any name and these guys are in India sounds like and they're a huge boiler room and they're just ripping people off to be... The government our government has the phone number gave it out. It's well known if you look it up on the internet, you can find a bunch of people moaning about this and I don't understand why they just don't crack go find these guys and just throw them into slammer! Is it possible that this phone call cost you $9.95 per minute? I hope not... Well there is some speculation... Seems unlikely on my sonic dot net connection with all free calls And by the way one thing I did before I called
