IRS warns people about a widespread telephone scam

Picture

IRS warns people about scammers, who are using a sophisticated phone scam to target taxpayers throughout the country. The scammers tell their victims that they owe money to the IRS and must pay it promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, the scammers threaten them with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license.

 

Other characteristics of this scam include:

 

· Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.

 

· Sometime Scammers are even able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security number.

 

· Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS

(or the local police dept)

calling.

 

 

· Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.

 

· After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and someone else soon call back pretending to be from the local police or Department of Motor Vehicles, and the caller ID supports their claim.

 

Please note that IRS does not, and will not, ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer. If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS callingIf you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 800-829-1040 to understand your tax liability or let me know….
