    Text - t9 326 Let's Make a Ha-Deel @twittysuch Apr 3 Would anyone be interested in a summarized transcript because I recorded the call (I won't release the recorded call because I don't have the consent of who called me) but I can release a transcript?

    Text - t 16 240 Let's Make a Ha-Deel @twittysuch Apr 3 Some notes, though: I understand and respect that telemarketers (that's what they are) are just trying to do their jobs. We all have bills to pay. But the IRS phone scam is actually illegal and using threats of police violence or physical violence via the phone is illegal
