Whenever gift cards are asked for or required you know right away it’s a scam. The IRS does not ask for gift cards from Target or Walmart, nor does any other government agency. Or any company.

True that. But the scammers have now come up with other names for gift cards. “Electronic voucher cards”, and the like.

It must be fooling a decent number of people, because the scammers are still doing it.

As a side note, the Feds need to set up a small agency dedicated to call-flooding these scam centers. Shut ‘em down, one way or another.
