I got a call on August 9th from the number 818 636 7392. It started as a voice-operated system saying I was being sued by the IRS for tax fraud and that I owed them money, and that if I didn't pay while I was on the phone with them there would be a warrant for my arrest. It seemed legitimate to me because of how they were asking for information, and they gave me a fake ID number, name and case. I mistakenly gave them my address, name, phone number, and the last four digits of my SSN. I realized it was a scam when my mom told me that the IRS would never call you, so I hung up the phone. I'm just trying to protect myself now from the mistake I made.
