...scams are still being used in the world today for the simple reason that they still work.

That’s true! Everyone should know that IRS never, ever give any phone calls. The moment you get a phone call from someone pretending to be from IRS, you should 100% be certain it’s a scam. And this is one of many. For example another one “internet and phishing links”. I never click any unknown link and believe me, there is many of them just like many of people who eventually click on this link. Usually it’s too late for them to realize they made a mistake.
