I couldn't agree more! Unfortunately, right here in TV we read in The Sun how someone has been screwed out of their savings by someone posing as their grandchildren, or a con stating they are from IRS stating they owe the Federal Government back taxes, and unless the person sends in $5,000 in gift cards they will be arrested. It's a sad situation because they prey on the elderly. The IRS will never call you, their communication will come by mail.
The best advice I can offer is to just hang up the telephone once the subject focuses on money.
