Scammers manage to get hold of your income tax filings and then call you on WhatsApp stating they are from the Income Tax department. They claim that there are issues with your income tax filings and a notice will be sent shortly. However if you try to ask more details, they sense your anxiety and exploit the situation. Hence best to tell them that you will review the formal notice and respond. No government official will anyway formally call for such matters, definitely not on WhatsApp.
