Beware of fake IRS calls that threaten lawsuits or wage garnishment and demand payment through Western Union or debit cards. These automated messages often sound urgent, use legal jargon, and may include background chatter to seem legitimate. Never share personal or financial information with an unknown number, and do not follow payment instructions. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. Verify any real tax issues directly with the IRS through official channels—its website or the official phone line—not through a callback number. Stay vigilant and protect your data.
