Frank Garcia got scammed?

One of those victims was former NFL player Frank Garcia, who is now a sports radio host in Charlotte, North Carolina. When he got the call, it sounded so authentic, he left the radio station in a panic, scramming to get the money they wanted.
 
"The only thing running through my head is, I'm going to jail. I'm gonna be on television, in handcuffs, for tax evasion," he recalled. "I had to follow specific steps not to be arrested. That the authorities had been contacted and in fact, they are on the way and will be there in 30 minutes."

 

 

Really?

That tells me 1) he's not very smart and 2) he's cheated on his taxes enough to react like that.

My first thought was this as well.

 

If the IRS called me tomorrow I would simply ask them to set up a meeting and my CPA and I would be available to answer any questions.

Anytime in have been threatened with being arrested I just tell them to go ahead and send them. Especially if they are calling on the phone.

Also, if I feel like something is a scam in immediately ask for that person's name, company name, and a call back number. If theY hedge even a little I usually just hang up.
