Expert Opinion
Yesterday afternoon, a surge of calls claiming to be from the IRS has been reported, using the number 719‑480‑7701. These messages typically threaten immediate payment or legal action if you don’t respond within 24 hours. Never share personal or financial details with an unsolicited caller, and verify the agency’s official contact channels before acting. Block the number through your phone or carrier’s scam‑filter tools, and consider adding it to a reputable call‑blocking app. Report the incident to the FTC, the IRS’s phishing hotline, or your local consumer protection agency. Staying skeptical and documenting the call can help prevent future fraud.
