US breaks up IRS phone scam operation

Just to make it clear: Not only do I get IRS robocalls in the US but all kind of scams.

Also: 96% of the Dutch speak English, and the Scandinavian countries aren't far behind.

There's a difference between speaking English and expecting a local call to be in English. Sure they could have the conversion, but trying to do a tax scam on a Dutch person in English has ~0% chance of succeeding.

Tax ok, but I think many would fall for a crypto, or investment scam.
