My wife got the same call yesterday. I'd like to arrange a meeting for payment but I'm not allowed. :-(

Aw rats, they could have handled both of our cases at the same time.

Just how stupid do these scammers think we are?

I used to wonder that myself until I heard they use it as a filtering function. Most thinking people will just ignore that spam so if anyone responds, they KNOW they've got someone who is really gullible on the hook.

Yup, this. I mean, you would think with the World Wide Web being more than 20 years old, all the "low hanging fruit" would have been picked over by now but I guess since the cost of sending out a million emails is relatively low, they still snare one every now and then.

Has anyone heard from roberth today?

So nice to know that the government gave you permission to do whatever you want with your own money isnt it?

I know exactly what the IRS does when they think you owe back taxes because last year I opened up the mail in early June and saw a letter from the IRS stating that we had failed to declare income on our 2013 taxes and owed $14,000 in back taxes and penalties.

Turns out when my wife rolled over one of her IRAs the receiving institution never notified the IRS that the account was rolled over into another deferred account so it was counted as both an early distribution and unreported income and since it was undeclared they also socked us with a $3000 penalty.

The good news is that my wife is like the most organized person on the planet. She went right to the file cabinet, pulled out ALL of the supporting documentation, I made copies, drafted a nice little legal brief and we fired it off to the IRS. 2 months later we got a letter back from them saying the matter was resolved and nothing was due. Lesson learned: Keep records of anything related to 401k, IRA, or anything else that could be reported as income.

Funny story. I ended up chatting with a "woman" via email who was supposedly an event planner/clothing buyer from southern CO. Something didnt quite fit because I was wondering how one could make a living as an event planner in some tiny town there but I let it slide until one day she emails and says she's in, you guessed it, Nigeria with a US $24000 check that she couldnt cash and needed me to loan her money to get home. "She" was quite insistent even when I asked her how she ended up in Nigeria in the first place. It was entertaining but there's that Nigeria connection again.

From all those emails you'd get the idea that Nigeria must be the richest country on earth.

I got one of those a couple months ago. It was just a machine, and my first indication that is was a scam was remembering that I don't make enough money for the FEDS to give a shit about...
