Hello how may I help you? I feel like I may be getting scammed It's always best to investigate anything that seems out of the ordinary. What has you concerned? I got a call from an odd number Did you speak with the caller? Yes, he said he's from the IRS It's unusual for the IRS to directly call citizens but not impossible. What did the caller want? My credit card number The IRS would not request your credit card number. What was your reply? I wanted to ask you first You should not give the called your credit card number. You are correct, this is a scam.
