IF someone calls claiming to be from the IRS, Social Security, Medicare, or any government office...
Government agencies do NOT call people unexpectedly. They send letters.

IF someone calls saying they're from Microsoft, Apple, or "tech support" and your computer has a virus...
These companies don't monitor your computer or call you about problems.
