IRS Scam?
written on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 @ 5:39 PM ✈
So we got this call that said my dad owed tax or whatever from IRS.
*Note: his accent sounded like those Microsoft virused cpu scams, not trying to be racist or anything
I took up the call 2nd because the 1st time Jo and dad picked up. The talk vol was hella low, no wonder they heard nothing. So Jo hung up. Then he called again like RIGHT after, and was like "what happened ma'am" like angry or something. I could feel the hatred through the phone.
I didn't know whether to trust it or not, since we didn't get a mail or anything. He didn't introduce himself when I first said hello (since he started w/ that rude question -_-), and not until he asked for my name; apparently he heard me wrong. So he explained "stuff" to me and said he'll transfer me, so I held okay. Then he came back and asked me for my name. I swear--I thought it was the same person at first. I was like what the heck. you already know my name. (Seriously, if you plan to play different roles, lose the accent *rolls eyes*)
Okay yadda yadda. I didn't trust him so I was like can you call back later when my sister comes home and I was trying to get off the dang phone. He wouldn't let me. He was like this is urgent and stuff. He kept pestering me about a criminal lawyer and about dad going to jail for 5 years if he fails to comply etc. I had him hold as I "translated back to dad" (obviously I didn't). What I really was doing was researching about this scam. I was also to Jen. Everytime he speaks I hear background noise, when he stops--nothing. I told this to Jen but she said when she worked as translator she did that too, muting herself. So I ended up having to hang up on him 'til Jen deals with the IRS/po-po.
I had to look up some stuff for IRS scams:
1. There would be no unexpected phone calls; they would mail an official letter beforehand.
2. If they state that they are from the IRS, and it is urgent, it is almost certainly a scam.
3. They could most likely recite your last 4-digit SS#.
4. You will hear background noise of calls to mimic a call site.
5. REAL IRS will not send out electronic notifications such as e-mail or texting etc.
That's basically it summarized.
A tip from irs.gov: "Potential phone scam victims may be told that they owe money that must be paid immediately to the IRS or they are entitled to big refunds. When unsuccessful the first time, sometimes phone scammers call back trying a new strategy."
Be careful of scams everyone!

we live under the same sky
“To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.”
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
whose life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
I kept the image on the left bc it was kawaii-ne~ & this above bc I really liked what the creator wrote ^^
