Thank you for your email. If you have received an unsolicited call from an individual purporting to be from the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of the Treasury, and/or making threats of legal action or even promises of federal grant funds, it is a fraud.
There are a number of similar scams, some of which can be quite persuasive: in some, the scammers have done brief Internet research of potential victims so they appear to be familiar with their victim's personal details, and they use this information as a springboard to obtain more. You may report scams regarding the IRS at the following site:
Https://treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml. Other scams can be reported to the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov, (or call 1-877-FTC-HELP) and internet (email) frauds to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.
Please be aware that phone numbers and email addresses can be "spoofed" to appear to be generated from a federal agency. We encourage you to continue to be extremely wary of unsolicited telephone or e-mail communications, particularly those that request personal information, contain a sudden offer of some prize or grant, or make monetary demands.
Complaints regarding fraud, waste, or abuse in the Department of the Treasury, excluding the IRS, may be reported at www.treasury.gov/about/organizational-structu ... otlineForm.aspx.
We have noted that some systems do not download operational links from this autoreply, instead generating the links as duplicate address texts. If your system is experiencing these issues, we thank you for your patience while we attempt to fix this issue. These sites can also be accessed by either typing in the specific www. or https:\\ address, or locating and clicking the site via a search engine.
