uscitizenpod: IRS (and USCIS) Imposter Scams 

I got a threatening phone message from someone pretending to be an IRS agent.  My student have rec'd similar calls from someone pretending to be a USCIS agent. 

We did not call them back nor paid them any money.

We filed a complaint with ftccomplaintassistant.gov
