Expert Opinion

Late last week, a familiar warning buzzed through the line, claiming the IRS or Treasury had an enforcement action against you. The script matches a common tax‑related scam that uses official‑sounding language and badge numbers to pressure recipients. Because the IRS never initiates collection by phone, any such call should be treated with suspicion. Hang up immediately, block the number, and verify any alleged debt directly with the agency through its official website or a known phone line. Report the incident to the FTC and consider a call‑blocking app to reduce future unwanted calls. Keep a record of the caller ID and time for any future investigations.

Luckly, it's just a scammer calling; the IRS usualy sends letters first.
