IRS warns taxpayers to guard against new tricks Following the emergence of new variations of wide- spread tax scams, the Inter- nal Revenue Service issued another warning to taxpay- ers to remain on high alert and protect themselves against the ever-evolving ar- ray of deceitful tactics scam- mers use to trick people. These schemes, which can occur over the phone, in e-mails or through let- ters with authentic looking letterhead, try to trick tax- payers into providing per- sonal financial information or scare people into making a false tax payment that ends up with the criminal. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administra- tion (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 600,000 contacts since October 2013. TIGTA is also aware of more than 4,000 victims who have collectively reported over $20 million in financial loss- es as a result of tax scams. "We continue to see these aggressive tax scams across the country," IRS Commis- sioner John Koskinen said. "Scam artists specialize in being deceptive and fooling people. The IRS urges tax- payers to be extra cautious and think twice before an- swering suspicious phone calls, emails or letters." Scammers posing as IRS agents first targeted those they viewed as most vulnera- ble, such as older Americans, newly arrived immigrants and those whose first lan- guage is not English. These criminals have expanded their net and are now target- ing virtually anyone. In a new variation, scam- mers alter what appears on your telephone caller ID to make it seem like they are with the IRS or anoth- er agency such as the De- partment of Motor Vehicles. They use fake names, titles and badge numbers. They use online resources to get your name, address and oth- er details about your life to make the call sound official. They even go as far as copy- ing official IRS letterhead for use in email or regular mail. Brazen scammers will even provide their victims with directions to the nearest bank or business where the victim can obtain a means of payment such as a deb- it card. And in another new variation of these scams, con artists may then provide an actual IRS address where the victim can mail a receipt for the payment, all in an at- tempt to make the scheme look official. The most common theme with these tricks seems to be fear. Scammers try to scare people into reacting immediately without taking a moment to think through what is actually happening. These scam artists often angrily threaten police ar- rest, deportation, license revocation or other similar- ly unpleasant things. They may also leave "urgent" call- back requests, sometimes through "robo-calls," via phone or email. The emails will often contain a fake IRS document with a telephone number or email address for your reply. It is important to remem- ber the official IRS website is IRS.gov. Taxpayers are urged not to be confused or misled by sites claiming to be the IRS but ending in .com, .net, .org or oth- er designations instead of .gov. Taxpayers should nev- er provide personal informa- tion, financial or otherwise, to suspicious websites or strangers calling out of the blue. Below are five things scammers often do that the real IRS would never do: The IRS will never • Angrily demand im- mediate payment over the phone, nor will the agency call about taxes owed with- out first having mailed you a bill. • Threaten to bring in lo- cal police or other law-en- forcement groups to have you arrested for not paying. • Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. • Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. • Ask for credit or deb- it card numbers over the phone. Here's what you should do if you think you're the target of an IRS imperson- ation scam: • If you actually do owe taxes, call the IRS at 1-800 - 829 -1040. IRS workers can help you with a payment is- sue. • If you know you don't owe taxes or do not imme- diately believe that you do, you can report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Adminis- tration (TIGTA) at 1-800 - 366 -4484. • If you've been targeted by any scam, be sure to con- tact the Federal Trade Com- mission and use their F TC Compliant Assistant at F TC. gov. Please add "IRS Tele- phone Scam" to the com- ments of your complaint. For more information on reporting tax scams, go to IRS.gov and type "scam" in the search box.
