5 Tactics Scammers often do the IRS would never do,irs tax scam help http://youtu.be/5T72p17UeI0
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
taxpayers are always warned to remain on high alert and protect themselves against the ever-evolving array of deceitful tactics scammers use to trick people.
These schemes — which can occur over the phone, in e-mails or through letters with authentic looking letterhead — try to trick taxpayers into providing personal financial information or scare people into making a false tax payment that ends up with the criminal.
Scammers posing as IRS agents first targeted those they viewed as most vulnerable, such as older Americans, newly arrived immigrants and those whose first language is not English. These criminals have expanded their net and are now targeting virtually anyone.
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.
but there are five things scammers often do that the real IRS would never do.
The IRS will never:
1-Angrily demand immediate payment over the phone, nor will the agency call
about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill.
2-Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.
3-Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
4-Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card.
5-Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
If you’ve been targeted by any scam, be sure to contact the Federal Trade Commission
