I got a phone call from my state about some old income taxes that were due. They offered to take a credit card right over the phone. I was 99.9% certain it was a scam. Had all the ear marks. My CPA, who I immediately called, thought so too.

I called the dept of revenue (using phone number from book) and was shocked learn it wasn't a scam!

In fact the revenuers said I was almost the only one who had EVER questioned their veracity.
