A caller identifying herself as Nicole claimed to be from the IRS and asked for my Social Security number to "verify" the call—this is definitely a scam. Don’t be fooled; simply hang up and never share any personal information over the phone, no matter the situation. I always refuse to give out such details on calls. This phone number has been reported to both federal and state authorities, and it also appears on several scam warning websites. I made sure the number I provided here is correct by double-checking it. Stay cautious and do not interact with these kinds of calls.
