My sister recently told me about her neighbor who had been scammed by a friend. The neighbor is from Fiji and so is the friend. I don’t know the details but the friend convinced the neighbor that they owed the IRS money. The friend talked the neighbor into giving her the husband‘s paychecks. The friend would then pretend to take a picture of the check to send to the IRS to pay their owed taxes.
The neighbor did not work but her husband did. So they had one income and plus they had a teenage daughter. Since the neighbor gave the entire check to her friend, she would not have money for food or to pay rent. The friend would give her a little money and tell her that it came from the IRS.
The friend told the neighbor that the IRS required her to spend eight hours a day six days a week online applying for jobs. She told her that she could not come out of the room. She neglected her husband and daughter while filling out these job applications. She frequently had to borrow money from my sister and my mother because she had given the entire paycheck to her so-called friend.
The friend also told her to drop her car off at the police station per IRS instructions so it could be searched.
My mother and sister would buy school clothes for the neighbors daughter because all the money went to the friend. my sister would also buy the neighbor toilet paper or other things. This was before my sister knew what was going on with the friend.
When my sister found out what was going on, she took the neighbor to the IRS office and told them what was going on and the neighbor was told that they did not owe any taxes and that they would never do anything that her friend was telling her. The IRS told the neighbor that what her friend was doing was a felony and asked her for her friends name. She refused to give it to them.
My cousin has a daughter who works for the IRS so my sister called her and put her on speakerphone so the neighbor could listen in and confirm that what her friend had been telling her were all lies. She had been scammed.
The neighbor told my sister that she didn’t think that her own people would do this to her.
When my sister asked her why couldn’t she have borrowed money from her in-laws or told them what was going on with a friend, she told my sister that her in-laws think she is stupid.
My sister thinks the neighbor is still communicating with her friend and possibly still giving her money.
My sister asked the neighbor to pay back the money she borrowed when she was being scammed which added up to several hundreds of dollars. Of course she hasn’t.
The scam had been going on for years before my sister made the neighbor put a stop to it.
