ABC News records a phone scam that is currently sweeping the United States. Crooks posing as the Internal Revenue Service tricks people into believing that they owe back taxes, and then threatens to have authorities come to their house to arrest and handcuff them.

I think that most of us that are tech savvy would recognize that the calls were bogus, but the elderly population are falling to phone scams in record numbers. Please pass this video around and educated your friends and family members.
