I recently purchased the RFID RC522 reader/writer,along with some NFC Mifare classic 1K 13.56mhz tags. The seller on Amazon mentioned that the NFC tags were compatible with the rc522 reader/writer; however, I have not been able scan the tags. I was wondering, is it really possible to scan NFC tags with the RC522 reader/writer? thanks nfc tags RFID RC522 module

RC522 RFID/NFC reader (also called RFID-RC522 Module) can: Read the UID of RFID/NFC tag. Change the UID of RFID/NFC tag (only if the tag is UID-writable) Write data to RFID/NFC tag.
In order for RFID readers and NFC-enabled smartphones to communicate with the same tag, the NFC Forum defined a new class of NFC tags. So-called NFC Type 5 tags can be modified by a smartphone as long as it is in close proximity to the tag. Then, the same tag can be read by any commercial HF-RFID scanner.
RC522 is the highly integrated RFID card reader which works on non-contact 13.56mhz communication, is designed by NXP as low power consumption, low cost and compact size read and write chip, is the best choice in the development of smart meters and portable hand-held devices.
NFC is best described as a subset of RFID. NFC devices operate at the same frequency as high frequency RFID readers and tags — 13.56 MHz. But unlike RFID devices and tags, NFC does not have a range from 25 meters to 100 meters. Instead, NFC takes advantage of the short read range limitations of its radio frequency.
Is it partially true. Depends on the NFC tag you're using, there are 4 different NFC tags types working in different protocol technologies. You can check it in the following link.
As I can see in the specs, RC522 supports ISO14443A and all variants of MIFARE products.
If I'm not wrong (long time not working with NFC):
As Type 2 and Type 4 NFC tags are based on MIFARE tags in general you should be able to scan those type of tags.
