Ten Scam Commandments:Lessons from a Criminal Call Center’s IRS ExtortionScript
- hughdbrown 10y ago"The call-center workers had a complicated and long script to direct the victims to nearby stores to buy $500 Apple iTunes gift cards. The victims were then instructed disclose the registration numbers of the gift cards, giving control of that cash to the call center worker." If I were asked to go to a Walmart and get an Apple iTunes card to settle a government debt, I would laugh. I have trouble believing that someone fell for that.
- giis 10y agoYes, It looks funny. But I think they try to create some kind of panic like "you need to complete this procedure in next 30 minutes". not allowing time to think or talk about this to friends.
