Fake IRS Calls Are Back – Don’t Fall for It
Scammers are impersonating IRS agents, claiming you owe back taxes and must pay immediately—or face arrest. It’s all fake.
How to Spot It:
These scammers demand instant payment through gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency. They use scare tactics, threatening arrest or legal trouble if you don’t comply. They also refuse to send official IRS notices, which is a clear red flag.
What to Do:
Hang up immediately—the IRS never calls demanding payment. If you’re unsure, verify directly by calling the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
