I feel left out. No one ever sends me these emails. I know...I know. I'd just like to laugh it off...unless it looked legit.
I'm with you ms, I don't get those emails anymore. I just get calls from some woman saying her name is IRiS and I never paid them last year, and I'm like "whatever scammer", and hang up.
Just kidding, I pay my taxes
No joke, I once got a call from IRiS telling me that the sheriff was on his way to arrest me for tax evasion, and the only way to stop him from kicking down my door (well, IRiS didn't quite say it like THAT but I got the point) was to pay the $3000 I supposedly owed right then and there. But before I could pay, IRiS would need my name, address, and SSN to confirm my identity.
'Well, how does the sheriff know where to go and who to arrest if you need me to verify all that?'
Sir, you MUST give me that information right now or will be arrested!
'Uh, and why does the sheriff need to know my social?'
Sir.. SIR! Listen to me! You only have a few seconds or you will go to prison. I repeat, you MUST give me your name, address, social security number, also your credit card information..
'What if I offer to write the sheriff a check and hand it to him personally? You wanna wait on the phone until he gets here? Hope he figures out the address soon enough.'

'IRiS? Hey, IRiS? Where'd you go? The sheriff hasn't gotten here yet!'
