6 Tax Fraud

7 Tax Fraud Nearly 6,400 victims have collectively paid over $36.5 million to scammers posing as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials since October of Over that same time period, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 1.2 million calls made to taxpayers demanding that they send cash to resolve outstanding tax liabilities. The average amount of money lost in the scam is $5,700.

8 Tax Fraud This is a crime of opportunity, so the best thing you can do to protect yourself is to take away the opportunity, the Inspector General added. If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and uses threatening language if you do not pay immediately, that is a sign that it is not the IRS calling, and your cue to hang up, he said. Again, do not engage with these callers. If they call you, hang up the telephone.

9 Tax Fraud The IRS generally first contacts people by mail not by phone about unpaid taxes and the IRS will not ask for payment using a prepaid debit card, a money order or wire a transfer. The IRS also will not ask for a credit card number over the phone.

10 Tax Fraud The callers who commit this fraud often: Utilize an automated robocall machine. Use common names and fake IRS badge numbers. May know the last four digits of the victim s Social Security Number. Make caller ID information appear as if the IRS is calling. Aggressively demand immediate payment to avoid being criminally charged or arrested. Claim that hanging up the telephone will cause the immediate issuance of an arrest warrant for unpaid taxes. Send bogus IRS s to support their scam. Call a second or third time claiming to be the police or department of motor vehicles, and the caller ID again supports their claim.
