I've heard that Bitcoin phone scams are making their way around. The scams supposedly call and ask you to pay debts or IRS taxes with an alternate cryptocurrency/Bitcoin while others try to get you to "invest" in a fake coin. The main thing is they seem to be targeting people over the phone.

Has this actually happened to anyone?


I once called a friend from an unknown phone. He introduced himself as a tax officer and began to demand appearance in the appropriate department, to name the amounts that I own in crypto-currencies. For an instant I was surprised. But he did not introduce himself and was rude to me. So I quickly exposed him. But everyone will not be prevented from knowing their rights for possible communication.
