Expert Opinion
Earlier today, a call from +6448892642 pretended to be from the IRD offering a refund and demanding card details. The caller hung up when the recipient refused. This pattern matches a classic IRD impersonation scam that also threatens legal action. Never share personal or financial information to unsolicited callers. Verify any claim by contacting the official IRD number listed on their website, not the one provided in the call. Use your phone’s block feature or a call‑filtering app to stop future attempts. Report the number to your local consumer protection agency and consider adding it to online scam databases. Stay cautious and keep your accounts secure.
