Oh yeah, March Madness. It's March Madness for college basketball. And a lot of offices, including where Jeremy works, are doing those unofficial pools where you can make money off of filling out brackets, you know, and trying to get the perfect bracket.

Where I can lose money. I never make money.

Well, you're going to bust him for doing an illegal bracket. Is that right?

A legal pool? In this phone scam, they gave me all the info about him setting it up at the work. So I'm going to call and bust him for illegal gambling.

It's a mojo in the morning phone scam.

We will, we will scam you. Sorry, it's a catchy song. It's your home of phone scans. Mojo in the morning. Hello? Hey, how's it going, man? Is this Jeremy?

Yes, sir.

Hey, glad I got a hold of you. I'm calling about the March Madness Brackets. Are you the guy that's taking the money in the office?

Yes, I am. It's going to be a big pool this year, man.

Oh, yeah?

like what are you thinking so we got we got max payoffs going first place 70 percent of it second place getting 10 and then the house oh we're actually giving 10 uh 10 percent to third place as well that's right and then uh we're gonna divide it up 10 for the house can i still

get in on it yeah man 50 bucks a square oh sweet yeah yeah who is this again uh mr this is detective Robert Blocks from the FBI in Washington, D.C., Gambling Compliance Division. We're contacting the authors of some online illegal activity and, sir, we need about three minutes of your time to talk about this bracket.

I don't understand. What is this?

Well, sir, you just confirmed to me that you're the facilitator of your office pool for the quote-unquote big dance, but we didn't need your confirmation. We actually already have printouts of your transactions and brackets from Yahoo and CBS Sportsline, and I'm calling to inform you that you're in violation of a 1992 federal law which prohibits sports betting uh i mean i'm just doing what everyone

else is doing i don't understand what's the deal what do you mean everybody's not breaking the law

i don't know what to say everyone drives 85 on their way home from work does that make it fine

and legal but there's been brackets and squares in this office every year since i started working

Really? Did you work there in 1961?

No.

Because that's when they passed the Interstate Wire Act, making it illegal to communicate sports wagers over the wires, a rule the Department of Justice has deemed to include the Internet. And then there is the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act, which makes it illegal to accept payments related to gambling. I'm assuming you don't run a legally licensed casino in the state, do you?

No, I don't.

So there's not a lot of big gray area here, you understand? man. I suppose the only question remains is whether you will choose to pay the fine or do the time. Wait, man, who do you say you're from? My name is Officer Robert Blocks, and we're going to have to schedule an interview to come in and talk to you. I'm not asking you to make a decision now, sir. I'm merely calling to confirm your current mailing address where we can send your bench warrant and notice to appear. Are you serious right now? I'm very serious, sir, and I love how people think the FBI is too busy to chase down the cubicle dwellers for dropping a 10 spot on ucla when you add it all up there's over two billion in ncaa gambling going on this week in offices nationwide and that's not something we can ignore now your amount is in the thousands as you just admitted to me on the phone which could land you in jail but more likely uh you could avoid that and just pay a fine of about twelve hundred dollars i've never heard of such things so i'm gonna have to talk to my lawyer yeah you will have to talk to a lawyer for sure And I'm sure it's not your company's policy to allow illegal March Madness office pools for money. And that's why my next call is to your corporate management.

Oh, my gosh.

And you also didn't claim last year's gambling winnings on a Schedule A tax form? And also, who'd you pick to go to the final for? I'm looking at this bracket. What the hell is wrong with you? This is Spike from the Mojo in the Morning Show. You deliver a crate of Cool Ranch Doritos, Locos, Tacos to this office, and I'll see if I can make your charges disappear. Oh, geez. You've just been phone scammed the mojo on the morning show. Oh, my God. Yeah, well, you're busted twice. You're busted with the phone scam and then you're going to be busted with these brackets pretty quick.

Yeah, it sounds like it. Oh, my God.
