There was a guy on the news 2-days ago that got scammed for $16,000 with that same pitch. Said he wired transferred it. He was very well dressed and sounded intelligent. The first thing I thought was "WHAT" how in the hell do you fall for this shit, Only thing that made sense to me was, He must be afraid of the IRS for a reason.

Came home tonight to a message (different number) from the same scammer. Reported, and if contacted by TIGTA, I will volunteer to personally give the POS scammer lead poisoning, free of charge.

The official word I heard from the IRS (many articles mention this), is that the IRS first point of contact is via mail and or registered mail.

They NEVER make first contact via telephone.

Now that would be a wast of perfectly good lead. :(

You have a rotary cutter?

About 15 years ago a local teenager was caught tying cats paws together, them burying them up to their neck in sand and running over them with a lawn mower.

Just something to think about. ;)
