Don't Scam the United States Government, They Don't Like the Competition

The rule of thumb is that you never try to scam a professional scam artist. As in someone who has been avoiding detection and convincing fools to part with their money for years. In fact, they take great offense to the fact that someone tries to scam them, even if they have done much worse things in the name of lining their own pocket. Essentially, more or less, do not bring a knife to a gun fight against a scam artist.

So that being said, it’s likely not to be a good idea to scam the United States government, especially out of a lot of money.

Don’t Scam The United States Government, They Don’t Like the Competition

Tax season is slowly approaching us and if you bothered to sit down and read the rules for claiming taxes, you would realize that they are confusing. Especially those who are just filing and even those who have been filing their taxes for years have to look at them carefully, because laws change all of the time. And sometimes the IRS cannot bother to offer the courtesy to inform people of these changes.

Naturally many people tend to rather get creative with their scam ways but the problem is this. The IRS are rather devious. They know the game. I’m sure many of them have set down and calculated many different ways to scam themselves. They’re prepared for deception to a rather crazy extent.

And the real problem lies in what when people get too greedy. They get too ambitious. They get a bit too careless. The IRS has a nose for deception, but if the nose is picking up a lot of deception, then you’re more likely to be in for an audit. As the upper class has found out recently with a rise in audits up several percent for them and thus they are in for a nasty surprise.

Let’s face it, you’re not going to beat the master, no matter how smart you think you are. The United States Government and to be more blunt, the IRS has written the book on deception and scamming and swindling. Given that Uncle Sam tends to nearly rip our legs off digging through the pocket of the common many every year, and there has been much speculation about whether or not those tax dollars go straight into the pocket of overpriced politicians (allegedly, of course).

Tis the season to start thinking about taxes, what you need to do, and how you’re going to get there. By the time you’ve thought of a way to deceive the IRS, they’ve already thought of a way, plus about three more.
