985-272-8568

Someone called me from 985-272-8568, claiming to be Sylvie from the IRS. The caller attempted to make the conversation sound legitimate and asked for personal information, including my Social Security number, under the pretense of "verifying" my identity.

Don't fall for it—this is a scam. Hang up immediately and never provide personal or financial information over the phone. I never share personal details with unsolicited callers, regardless of who they claim to represent.

This phone number has already been reported to both federal and state authorities, and it has also been posted on multiple scam-reporting websites to help warn others. The phone number listed here is accurate and has been carefully verified before submitting this report.

Stay alert, and remember that the IRS does not initiate unsolicited phone calls demanding personal information or immediate action.
