Two new SCAMS

Just another day but with two scams, the first some of you will think it is very real. But, to me it is another scam. Our talking head Indiana Governor was the subject of a headline newspaper article that he is testing the national waters. No chance whatsoever, but he must think he has. Actually I think he is running for Vice President but making believe he wants to be the big boss. Maybe instead he should come out to Geist and test our toxic water. Maybe he should test the water of rivers and streams hear his coal fired power plants before he wants to test the national waters. So far he has shown no leadership, rather a do nothing so he can’t screw up style of government. Based on the record of the Indiana House and Senate maybe that is a good idea.

The second scam came via the old fashion landline. “This is an important message from the IRS…”  You owe taxes and unless you pay immediately you will be arrested and taken before a US Magistrate and fined triple the amount you owe… Call 215-… right now to get instructions on payment. “Do not ignore this important call, you will go to jail.”

I was laughing so hard at the Pakistan accent my wife was looking at me in wonderment. Next step was to report the call to the FTC. Hopefully they catch these people soon. Don’t forget the IRS never calls they just sent nasty letters via snail mail.
