202-871-4832 – This conversation was an hour long so I am not going to post it. We went thru the usual blah blah blah and after I called him out after he said an IRS agent had come to my door (First on Feb 22 and next on Jan 18 – gee how does that work?). I told him I had security cameras and that I am home all day during the week, therefore, I would KNOW if someone had been at my door. So he admitted he was a scammer and asked me to marry him for 15,000 bucks so he could get a green card. I laughed and said it would be hard since I am already married. We talked for a long time and he told me fantastic tales of what the US is like and what he will do when he gets here. Yes, he will work as a cashier and take home 4000 bucks a month after he finds an American girl to marry him. Then after 1 month he will take his 4000 bucks and open a hotel. I broke his bubble. I told him about Federal, State, County, City, Gas and Sales Taxes. I told him what a cheap apartment costs per month along with garbage, water, and utilities. I told him what a car costs and about insurance and property tax and registration and getting a license and the fees. I told him what it would take to open a hotel, about fees and permits and knowledge and investors. I told him American girls marry up not down. I told him no American girl is going to marry a 28-year-old cashier from India with an accent as thick as mud with no skills and no future. And of course I got the “Poor me, no jobs, nothing I can do but scam can YOU help me?” I laughed and said I have heard that same line so many times I have lost count. I asked him why does he not stay in his own country and work to make it a better place instead of coming here and taking a job away from an American teenager try ing to go to college. No, he wanted a get rich quick scheme. He gets all his info from movies and tv. He also gets them from Instagram. I said that he should know since he is an IRS scammer, that people lie on the Internet. He told me that when he gets here he will come and visit me. I asked him how. He said he had my name and my address and telephone number. I said do you think I am that stupid that I would give you my real identity? He never thought of that. Yes, this really bright Indian scammer with no skills and poor English is coming to America to become a hotel owner and buy a Porsche in ONE MONTH. I did not know whether to laugh at him or feel sorry. Oh, he is an Indian scammer and I don’t feel sorry for them at all. I put myself thru college with three jobs and went hungry a lot so I don’t want to hear how bad he has it as he is stealing from the elderly, which he denied of course. He lets the elderly off and tells them it a scam. At that, I said sorry, you are just a liar and I have wasted too much time with you already. Good luck with those plans and I laughed and hung up. That is the condensed version. I would not subject you to the whole thing. ; )
He mentioned using the Patel family as a boost to get rich in the hotel industry. So I did some investigation and here is one of many things I found. The Patel family are basically an Indian Mafia, especially in San Fransico. No wonder San Fran looks like a third world country and people are pooping in the street. This Patel Cartel is bad news. So why am I not surprised? They are probably behind the IRS scams, IMHO.

And why does this not surprise me? Read the very last one on the list, lack of compassion and rudeness.
The Patel Family Hotel/Motel Monopoly: Hotel Problems
You must have shut 'em down already. I tried 6 different methods to get through and all I get is a “Call Rejected” message.
@JusticeinTexas#31418 Interesting reading up on the Patel family. Doesn't look like the are an assassinating type of cartel, like a drug cartel, but who knows any more these days!
@JusticeinTexas#31421 Oml…
DO you only do IRS scam or do you do any scam baiting in tech support?
You did a great job because they aren’t answering calls but I can try again tomorrow lol
@JusticeinTexas#31411 “Sheikh Chilli” or you can name it “Castle in the air”
Funny, that reminded me an Indian children story we read as children.
See brief Wiki reference: Sheikh Chilli (Sufi saint) - Wikipedia
@JusticeinTexas#31418 The biggest IRS scam involving “Shaggy Sagar Thakkar” involving eight scam call centers happened in Ahmedabad in Oct 2016, Gujarat (home of the Patels).
There was a network of 108 people on the top in India, USA and the UK
(all Gujaratis and mostly Patels). Eachscammer had a role: money launer, iTunes cards, Western Union transfer, IT network, Hawala (private bank like network) etc.
@ScamArrest#31423 They are not violent, just thugs and criminals. They are also into money laundering and I read that they lie a lot about how prosperous they really are. After more research I found that guys like the one I was talking to are lured here and then put in apartments with 12 other guys, work under the table up to 18 hours a day, 7 days a week for less than minimum for the “community” and are basically slaves. But they really want to believe the myth. They are not picked for intelligence but if they work hard. They don’t want smart ones because they would figure out that THEY themselves are being scammed, just like they are scamming others.
@drwat#31446 I knew after reading about their hotel scamming that they were behind the IRS scamming, too. It just made sense! Thank you for your information. You are awesome.
@PrangsterBro#31424 I do mostly IRS scam baiting but I have done some tech support. I tell them I got a call about my license key being broken, act like a total ditz and spend as much time trying to find the Vindows key as possible by reading of all the other keys like words, calling the search key the “Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass” and when he tells me again to look in the left corner I say it says “Intel Inside”. I also pretend to download their program and read the reply that it will only work on Vindows and not on ChromeOS. I have had them tell me to download it up to 7 times and I just keep reading the error message and they don’t get it. After I have wasted enough time, I call them out on how dumb they are because I am using a Chromebook. I have also done Grant Scamming. One of those ended with finding the woman who was romanced by the guy. A 79 year old lonely widow who he promised to marry. He was doing Valmart to Valmart tranfers but I told him I did not have a Valmart in my town so he told me to send a money order which enabled me to get the woman’s name and address and I found her. I called the police in Kansas twice and they went to her house. I contacted Social Services for the Elderly, the FBI and the local senior center plus her Pastor. I talked to her many times on the phone and finally got to her son who put a stop to it. That is why I do this. 3000 calls to save one little old lady is worth it.
