If I was him, I’d request that people send three mp3 files.
“Hello is this the IRS?”
“I got a call that I owe money?”
“how much do I owe?”
Then hit them with “Scammers I’ve come to bargain.”
Make them spend as much time as possible on the phone.
Edit: Actually it should be 4. Let people customize the “Scammers I’ve come to bargain” which will really screw if they keep different messages. They might think a whole group is coming after them.
yah i did the same thing the other month, and i’ve been getting these random calls from the “IRS” and they are so BOLD…at first i was really scared but then basic google search revealed they are a scam. PROPS TO OP! i want to flood them too, how do i get the software?
every single time i tried calling these types back the number doesnt get connected it just hangs up.. my mom almost fell for this bullshit.. so how does this guy call them back?
I can record something in hindi and send it over too.
I’ll probably have to ask some of my marathi versions of hill billy type if they know someone who works there and get me a rough location. Last time the police pulled someone they were from mumbai, and these ones seems to be the same case.
I do not understand why this is not open sourced for all to use, sure it could be abused but I have to think that hundreds of users would be more effective than the current 1 user. May also lead to more effective better priced options allowing for even more users.
Probably a stupid question. But why don’t regulators do something like this? It seems to be a logical idea if multiple people are being called by the same numbers, just do this?
So how exactly is someone able to initiate so many instances of telephony with a script? Would they require hundreds of voip accounts or something? Or is there something like Amazon EC2 for phone lines?
How long does he do this for? It’s pretty pointless if he only did it for a few minutes.. Or does he do it for several hours? Is he doing these videos to show off? or is he actually doing something about scammers? Otherwise this would be pointless. My point is, if he wants to really fuck over call centers, he needs to do this off and on to a particular call center over the course of weeks hardcore non stop. He could even expand, and do this on several computers and do it to several call centers at at time off and on over the course of weeks. It would be glorious and actually accomplish something great other then short videos for laughs.
It’s too bad phone companies don’t use their wealth of money and simply update these numbers as blocked or give their clients country blocking options. So hazel who has never made a call outside of Canada in her 80 years on this planet – maybe block the whole damn world for her. Route call to a operator who would call her and ask permission to accept. And if these are local would get flagged each day and blocked to all……. food for thought.

Edit: Read the conversation bellow before deciding.
Haha. I can watch this all day.
Great strategy with the “[pause] Hello? [pause]” to tie up each call for a few extra seconds.
Second half is the best, once they all get fed up with it and know what’s coming.
I just love the fact that they call him an asshole like they’re the good guys.
Love this channel, love what they’re doing.
“Ah… balls…”
this is golden. good to see some karma for stealing old peoples money.
Officer Robin Anderson has to be the most entertaining from this group.
dude just change to Liam Neeson phone clip already!

Great work, keep it up.
And remember, you have an army of millions waiting to help.
The more I see these videos, the more I believe not only should be done but can be done to stop this. As evidenced by one clever guy in his bedroom.
Love this guy
Doing god’s work.
Hindi at 10:50
“… your mom’s sisters pussy… pizza… pizza company… pizza company how can I help you.”
After several hours of running the program, you should shut it off, wait five minutes for them to let a sigh of relief, then turn it back on.
git revert random-hello-branch
Much harder to understand now. Original recording was simple and perfect.
/u/YesItWasDataMined is the programmer. He’s a lot like batman, the hero we need, not the hero we deserve.
I’d love to see a video where he takes the clips he’s recorded of the scammers cursing at him and play them back to them.
(Strong Indian accent) “IRS services, my name is Officer Bob Anderson. How may I help you”. Cracks me up every time.
If I was him, I’d request that people send three mp3 files.
“Hello is this the IRS?”
“I got a call that I owe money?”
“how much do I owe?”
Then hit them with “Scammers I’ve come to bargain.”
Make them spend as much time as possible on the phone.
Edit: Actually it should be 4. Let people customize the “Scammers I’ve come to bargain” which will really screw if they keep different messages. They might think a whole group is coming after them.
I feel like the hello’s kill it for me :/
yah i did the same thing the other month, and i’ve been getting these random calls from the “IRS” and they are so BOLD…at first i was really scared but then basic google search revealed they are a scam. PROPS TO OP! i want to flood them too, how do i get the software?
Anyone know what kind of service he is using to get outgoing calls from numerous numbers?
Next, use no record, just frustrate them with silence. See how long they last on each call and make a graph out of it.
[Or…](https://youtu.be/uyV0IVItlM4?t=40s)
Paging /u/YesItWasDataMined. Come collect your delicious internet points.
So is godaddy selling people’s phone numbers?
He is probably using VOIP to make the calls, they can block all VOIP numbers and block him for good
I love these videos. Makes passing the time at work a little more enjoyable.
every single time i tried calling these types back the number doesnt get connected it just hangs up.. my mom almost fell for this bullshit.. so how does this guy call them back?

I love how salty they get. It’s hilarious how they keep talking shit to a fucking automated robot just to make themselves feel better.
It’s disturbing how many different voices I heard. They sound like they are in a call center. This needs to be stopped!

Probably a stupid question. But why don’t regulators do something like this? It seems to be a logical idea if multiple people are being called by the same numbers, just do this?
“Leave me alone”
Yeah well leave us alone with those bullshit calls and actually go get a job instead of trying to scam me out of my money?
I notice alot of emails after registering a domain, what is the legality behind domain providers selling users information?
So how exactly is someone able to initiate so many instances of telephony with a script? Would they require hundreds of voip accounts or something? Or is there something like Amazon EC2 for phone lines?
No Adele sound bite? Missed opportunity. Great work though haha
this is the type of shit internet anonymous needs to be doing more
We should start doing this to the real irs too!
I really wish I knew how to do things like this.
Im so glad this guy is blowing up. What a way to show how the individual can bring justice through peaceful means.
why is OP playing music in the background too? hard to hear
How long does he do this for? It’s pretty pointless if he only did it for a few minutes.. Or does he do it for several hours?

Does this guy take donations? seriously. this is good fucking work.
EDIT: nevermind, yes he does

This guy is the closest thing to a super hero I’ve ever known.
I like what this guy is doing but these videos are so damn long…
