15. IRS Calling
Let the IRS itself explain how this one works: “Con artists make unsolicited calls claiming to be IRS officials. They demand that the victim pay a bogus tax bill. They convince the victim to send cash, usually through a wire transfer or a prepaid debit card or gift card.”
The organization reminds Americans that it will never “Threaten to immediately bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have the taxpayer arrested for not paying; demand that taxes be paid without giving taxpayers the opportunity to question or appeal the amount owed; ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone; [or] call you about an unexpected refund.”
