Gary Kane writes, “Imagine getting a phone call from the IRS demanding a tax payment or they’ll pursue legal action against you. The caller is usually a smooth talker, very aggressive, and insistent on receiving payment in the form of a wire transfer, prepaid debit card, or gift card. What You Can Do: First, hang up the phone. Never give out your credit or debit card information over the phone. If you do owe taxes, the IRS will send you a bill in the mail and afford you the opportunity to appeal the payment.”
