The IRS reminds people that they can know pretty easily when a supposed IRS caller is a fake. 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:
Call to demand immediate payment, nor will we call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill..
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 debit card numbers over the phone.
Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.
Got a call from this # 323-434-4908 and she said her name is Candi Tyler, Badge # IR-403-946. When I told her I had called the Sheriff's Department and they were coming here to talk to her, she hung up. Tried calling back and I get a message that something has eaten their phone (that's what it sounds like anyway). These people need to be arrested!!
I get call from this 343-4344908 impersonated the IRS. The person insist that I have to call back because owe some money and it need to be pay. This need to be reported to the property authorities.
