Remember the IRS or the SS will never call you they notify you by official mail.

Its to easy to say things are always scam . Last year I got a a letter from card member services of fargo North Dakota saying they think a credit card was fraudulently opened in my name and i should call to discuss. I assumed a fraud and i am not going to call and give my info . I did run a free credit report (trans union ) and no new account showed up. I thought okay a scam but 3 months later my FICO began to drop I ran another credit report (experian) and the account showed up . It took a lot of phone calls and, letters but I was able to finally clear things up. I put a security freeze on all 3 credit companys and now subscribe to life lock
