Nearly one in four individuals say they know someone or have fallen victim to such scams.
Young adults ( 18-24 ): This group is, surprisingly, the most likely to fall victim to scams.
Younger adults are particularly vulnerable; more than half of 18- to 24-year-olds know someone who's paid up.
The IRS will never contact you via phone, email, text or social media to demand immediate payment or request personal information.
