Some good rules to live by: If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is!
IRS, the FBI, APS, "Microsoft", a "Windows technician", anyone from "Apple" and most other large companies, will never call you, unless you initiate the call first.
Be careful of email from UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc., saying you have a package for delivery, but they "need more information to deliver" and you know you have not ordered anything, don't respond, just delete the email.
