As an Indian, I would like to congratulate everyone here, you tax returns are here, but there is a spelling mistake in your name and it would take $5000 to correct it, please call 1800420SCAM to get your refund.

bad jokes aside, these are the scum of the country and I am sorry for this shit.

If we're apologizing for national issues that aren't our fault, I'd like to say sorry for mass-shootings, exploiting poor people and the widening wealth-gap, and (worst of all) obnoxiously loud Americans abroad!

As a dutchie, i'd like to be sorry for not stopping slavery earlier, the NSB, and Auschwitz!

This is more depressing than it is funny

I get unexplainable joy watching scammers get scammed on YouTube.

My favourite scam scammer is kitboga.

lol, I literally read the title in his "old woman voice" 😂

Kitboga's work is just epic. With all the programs he develops, sound effects, other people to help him, etc he uses it's just like a modern day version of a radio hear play.

It isn't just entertainment, it's art.

I know it clearly works, and old people do definitely fall for it, but I'll never understand how. What part of the script makes it sound reasonable that the IRS would want amazon gift cards instead of, you know, a cash transfer or something?

They make it sound like they are only notifying you that you are about to be arrested. They don't ask for payment and fake refuse the first offer if the mark offers. Then, when the madk is very worried they are about to go to jail, it is much easier for them to believe whatever because it's harder to think when you are panicking. So something like "our payment system is down so we cant take payment with cards right now. You need to pay within 30 minutes or I can't reverse it. I guess I can pay out of pocket, but you need to get me the equal amount of gift cards" or some shit like that.

Yet they still have the courage to say "my generation was smarter than kids these days"
