Don’t fall for this scam: Someone in person or from an automated calling device, may call you, saying this call is from the IRS and they are filing suit against you. In order to get more details you must call this Washington DC number starting with the area code 202-*** **** . STOP right here its all BS!!! Do not call back.
IRS doesn’t operate this way. Scammers trying to get your ID or money do! Don’t be a dope, do not fall for this scam. You have been warned.
If the IRS wants to talk to you, they will send you a notice in the mail using your name and SSN. They just NEVER call you unexpectedly looking for money. I can’t believe how many foolish people call them back and try to work out a compromise payment with the scammers!
Yep I actually got that one. Those rules should apply to all call these days, many scams out there.
I always tell them I will call them back at the main company phone number and ask for their extension. I then google the phone number to see if it is real.
I have called the DOJ on a couple and they usually know about them. Some are on foreign soil. Problem.

Michelle Obama: Blacks have been ‘frustrated and invisible’ for ‘decades’
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2564253
Not invisible at all. Heck, black on white crime is very visible, consider this: Twice the number of blacks are responsible for white murders than the other way around and yet blacks represent only 14.2% of the whole population!
Wonder why Michelle doesn’t speak to that statistic?
Barrack has never addressed the high crime rates because it might make blacks look bad. Too late, arrest stats and prison incarceration rates have spoken and it’s not because blacks are victims of the white criminal justice system (some actually could be, but the other 98.5%…nah). I think we’ve grown up enough by now to know that isn’t the real problem. Some might like to think it is…but it isn’t.
Jack, you are obviously a bigoted “institutional racist.”
I’ve been called that more than once here, must be true!
Oops, sorry, I had a Piss Chris moment in the above remark.
Back on topic. Good info to know…..
Did some research since we were getting strange solicitation calls. Seems the bad guys outside the US can call in to a regular number – which shows up on your phone – but that number is just a relay. You can ID where in the US the call is coming from, but you can’t ID the original source.
Only way to combat this is to notify the phone company of the relay number since the “do not call” list doesn’t work for this – and the Feds don’t care. Did that with a Verizon number and contacted my carrier – Verizon. They went after the relay!
Good luck!

Weird. It’s almost as if poverty and crime are somehow connected!
“Barrack has never addressed the high crime rates”
I don’t know who “Barrack” is, but Barack Obama has addressed the high crime rate in the African-American community numerous times. Here’s one example I was able to find in just a few seconds using Google:

Chris says, “Weird. It’s almost as if poverty and crime are somehow connected!”
Condescending again Chris? Oh well, yes, yes, yes, poverty breeds crime, there’s no doubt! Every culture has poverty and they have crime, but not on the scale we have in the black community.
After we make statistical adjustments for poverty we’re still left a lot of crime. Is it possible for you to consider other factors that may be in play here? Aside from racist thoughts, what do you think those other factors might be?
#10 “I don’t know who “Barrack” is…” Okay, that was a typo, so you couldn’t figure it out? Geez, I think we may have a clue why you (Chris) are not getting what we say here 99% of the time.
