Type of a scam COVID-19

I had received a letter in the mail in which I had thought it would be about the People’s First Initiative from the IRS in which it helps those affected by COVID-19. I had called the number on the paper in which a man answered and said their name was Tax Group. They took down my name, address, SSN, phone number, email, how much is in my checking account (but not the actual account number or what bank), my occupation, and how many kids I have. They had said that they are lawyers who help to get the desired amount, in which I was confused. I had led them to believe I had hardly anything in my account anyway, but they were pressuring me to even take $100. I had said no and hung up. Shortly thereafter I had called them again asking them where they are located in which I was threatened. This is definitely a scam and I hope they are arrested and served with justice.

Type of a scam Tax Collection

I received an unsolicited letter with "Urgent Documentation Third Notice" written on the outside of the envelope. The letter goes on to describe an alleged tax lien (of which I have none), and they allege that they can "PROTECT [my] money and paycheck before the State Taxing Authority comes and takes it". They propose an estimated settlement amount of $501.39. I called the number provided (as no address, website or email site was provided) and spoke with someone named Michael. He would no provided any further address of demographic information and subsequently hung up on me.

Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief

Tax Group (800-344-6129) mailing that I owe $5,000+ and can settle with them for a lower amount. When I call that number, either I get through or get a Christian number. They say that they are not with the Tax Department.
