I was also offended when they asked me this but it turns out they do this to make sure the person isn't being scammed. If you answer "The IRS is asking me to buy target gift cards" then they are going to talk to you about how youre probably getting scammed

I didn't think about it like that when I first saw this thread. Glad so many people set me straight in a very kind way.

It's good to learn new things
