The Scam IRS Is Back...
While some of their agents would love to do it as pictured here, this isn't generally SOP for them.
Scammers from Benin don't seem to care to research what is SOP, so as to make their scam templates the least bit believable. They just mention IRS and money, and hope that's enough.
Doesn't work here. It especially doesn't work here with a couple of 'editing gone wild' pet rocks named Seymour and Element.
Like for example when this recent effort to give this household the business showed up:
HelloIRS OFFICEGreeting from IRS USAInternal Revenue Service United States Department of the TreasuryAccessibility Skip to Top Navigation 2283 3rd Ave New York, NY 10035,United States.Greeting from IRS USAWe the Internal Revenue Service, believed that you received theprevious message we sent to you, prior to your dealings with the U.SCustom Authority at (JFK) John F. Kennedy International Airport NewYork as regards to your over-due contract payment consignment trunkbox wAorth $10,500.000.00 (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand UnitedStates Dollars only), which was endorsed in your favor and like westated earlier, we have dully screened through this project asstipulated on our protocols of operation and have finally confirmedthat your contract payment is 100% genuine and hitch free from allface and of which you have the lawful right to claim your fund withoutany further delay.
They went on to audibly flatulate that to make all this happen would cost me only $669 USD.
The 'real' IRS has never offered me millions from any source and most certainly never will...dammit. The 'fake' array of IRSes out there will certainly keep trying to convince me that they mean it, even when they include mention of the offer coming from assordid West African states.And that's where my 'editing gone wild' pet rock Seymour comes in:
