<prompt> Human: I received a phone call claiming I owed them and if I hung up legal action would be taken against. Followed by listing consequences, and asking for my accountant. After saying I needed to call my accountant and put them on hold, the call was disconnected when I came back. This is a scam right? Should I be worried?Assistant: NO, the IRS will never call you to collect money. If they need to contact you, it will be through the mail. Human: What happens if me being gullible and naive gave some information to said scammer? I bought into it because of the magnitude of what they were claiming and the realization of it being a scam didnt hit until later.Assistant: did you give any card or account info? if you did, call those creditbanking agencies immediately, and tell them what happened. they should take it from there. I just hope you didnt give your social security number, if so, I have no idea how to help you. Human: No they asked for my accountant, I gave them that, and then also asked for my address to confirm what they have on file. I feel so stupid even spending a few minutes talking to them. Red flags were already in my head when I was talking to someone with a thick Indian accent claiming to be Officer Ed Mason.  <response>: Also call your accountant. He may not be duped, but you should call him to tell him what happened!
