A call showing 1‑646‑222‑2254 claimed to be from Ava at the Tax Group warned of possible past‑due taxes and offered help if you called back. The script pushes you to share personal information and threatens to keep a file open, classic hallmarks of a scam. Callers often provide an opt‑out option, but the initial contact is already a red flag. If you receive a similar pitch, hang up, do not disclose any data, and verify the agency through official channels. Use your phone’s block feature, report the number to the FTC, and consider a call‑filtering app for extra protection.
