So tell me, when exactly did the FBI start serving warrants by telephone? And when did they start hiring agents with East African accents? Maybe I WON'T pay the fine by credit card.

About the same time as the IRS calling folks to collect payments over the phone.

Did they have a strong foreign accent?

I've had at least 3 of those calls, and probably have refused to answer a similar number.

I got a spam call today and I answered the phone! The number came up from a contact in my contacts list. . . AT&T Customer Service. They told me my account was suspended Red Face. I hung up when they started to give me instructions to follow. I reported the spoofing to the real AT&T Customer Service.

I love the Microsoft scam. They always call and talk about how my Windows is jacked up. Only one minor problem with that theory-I run all Macs.

Tmobile has a useful feature where these scam calls come up as "Scam Likely" on caller ID.

That's fine. They want payment via iTunes cards anyway.

Oh I DID get a call from the FBI once. The agent was at my house looking for me.

He called me to get my work address so he could visit me there.

I've received e-mails 4-5 times in the last two weeks from "AT&T Customer Service" telling me I had one hour from the time I opened the e-mail to log-in to the provided link and change my password or my account would be suspended. The grammar wasn't even very good.

Yeah, I'll jump right on that ...

I thought the poor English was a dead giveaway until I received a letter actually from the IRS (confirmed by someone I know that works for IRS) that contained numerous typos.

Probably since cousin BHO decided who was going to run the FBI.

Last one like that I got like that, I told them to come and get some. Must have been convincing because no one’s shown up yet.
