Frank Garcia got scammed?


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

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.

    • yeah, you should get an auto spot not an auto top 5 spot.  I mean, Big12 still could go sideways and the #5 seed is someone the CFP actually ranks way out of the top 12.  Right now it's the #16 seed but it could be lower than that. 
    • At least we get a max of 3 more years to figure that out for sure. The past few weeks have been promising but hes not a finished product
    • I think a big difference between players and fans is that we're most impressed by those crazy passes that seem thrown like missiles for 30 yards down the field. BY can't really do that... Instead, he throws with anticipation, where he's throwing the ball before a receiver is anywhere near where the route finishes (this alone isn't that uncommon). But when and how he does that is really impressive I think, and what a lot of former players are commenting on. With that kind of passing you have to be decisive, which he finally has been the last few games.
