Expert Opinion
Stay alert when a unknown number claims you owe taxes or faces legal action. Never return calls to suspicious lines; instead, verify through official agency websites or contact numbers you know are legitimate. Block the number on your device and report it to the FTC or your carrier. Keep personal data, especially Social Security and banking details, offline unless you initiated the contact. If you feel pressured, hang up and consult a consumer‑protection attorney. Document the call and any voicemails for future reference.
