SCAM SCAM SCAM
These people called my mother (76) in California and told her they are the IRS Hotline. They told her the check she sent them was not acceptable or something like that and demanded that she give them her credit card information over the phone. She was confused and talked with them and they went on to yell at her and told her the Sacramento police were on the way to arrest her and that she was going to jail.
Fortunately she called her bank instead of giving them her credit card info. They had her call the police and they said they'd take care of it - cough cough.
I hope this helps others out there handle this without being as upset as they made my mom. Thank God she didn't fall for this.
