How To Get Screwed Over

So, a couple weeks ago I posted a phone number with what this number in Jamaica has been doing. Let me tell you more. 

Last January, a person I know, got a phone call from their "Grandchild" saying that she was in trouble and asking for money. They realized it wasn't their kin, so they hung up. A few days later, they got a phone call  from this guy, the same phone number, saying they owed money to the I.R.S. and that if they didn't send money, they will call the F.B.I. and they will put a lien on the property, and they would be going to prison. When this didn't work, yet, the victims were still talking to them, the Jamaica people told them they are the F.B.I. and that they were in trouble and needed to send money to get out of their debts. A few months ago They also got a phone call saying that their computer was messed up and that "Microsoft" was telling them they would help them with their laptops.
Then came all the phone calls, every 4 minutes. Sometimes every minute. In just 3 hour time period, they got more than 350 missed phone calls. 
Fast forward to a couple of months ago. 
Same people called, but this time in a local number, called to say they won 2.5 million dollars. All they had to do was send a 10,000 dollar check to them, and they would get their money. They fell for it, among sending almost a million dollars to them over the last couple of months. They were also told in a letter, that the F.B.I. knows about them being scammed, and to send a form back to them, and they will be able to help catch the crooks. They did. Almost a million dollars later, 4 new phone numbers, thousands of harassing phone calls, a Lock Smith called, three taxis, 3 wellness checks from the sheriff, and 6 pizzas brought to their house later, I told my employers I would quit if they did not call the Sheriff to come out and make a formal investigation on these crooks. 

So, here is what NOT to do...
First, The I.R.S. will never call you and threaten you over the phone. 
The F.B.I. will never contact you through a letter, when you have been scammed. 
The I.R.S. will not threaten to work with the F.B.I. if you are late paying your taxes by one year, and they will only work with the F.B.I. in rare occasions, but they will not talk to you in a manner that you feel like you are threatened. Also, when you pay the I.R.S. certain districts will have you send money at certain addresses. (i.e. if you are in Utah, you will send the money to a different I.R.S. facility than a person in Florida)     
The F.B.I. will not send you pizza. 
If you are told you won money, you never have to pay a person to get said money. This is fraud. 
If someone calls you and tells you they are in trouble, you ask them their name, and who is the person and what they are in trouble for. Don't give them any information, example, never say the name of the person who you think it is, make them say who it is. 
Never give any information to someone on the phone. If they call you, they need to tell you who they are and not the other way around.  
If you register your phone number on the no call list, to put a number on the no call list for complaints takes 31 days from the day you register your number on the no call list. 
If someone is continually harassing you, you have every right to be rude to them and not use phone etiquette. In fact, you don't have answer them all the time, in fact, don't answer them. 
If you are sending people money freely, you will not be protected by the F.D.I.C. because of you being an idiot.
If you report this scams to the Sheriff or Police, do NOT withhold information to them, because it will prolong the investigation, and work with them! Don't withhold information like "I sent money to them with Western Union" because you look like you are sympathetic to the scammers. 
Aaaaand Lastly, if you are going to be a jerk and give money freely to someone who is scamming you, and not listen to your employee or your child, and tell them to back when you are being scammed, don't expect said people to feel bad for you later. It's your fault.
