The IRS Warns Of Continued Phone Scams

By Joe Beige | Published September 4, 2014

The Internal Revenue Service issued a consumer alert warning taxpayers to protect themselves from telephone scam artists calling and pretending to be with the IRS.

These callers demand money, try to trick you into sharing private information and sound convincing when they call. They usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling and use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers.

Here are five things the scammers often do but the IRS will not do. Any one of these five things is a tell-tale sign of a scam. The IRS will never:

1. Call you about taxes you owe without first mailing you an official notice.
2. Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
3. Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card.
4. Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
5. Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

Remember, too, the IRS does not use email, text messages or any social media to discuss your personal tax issue. For more information on reporting tax scams, go to www.irs.gov and type “scam” in the search box.
