Scammers are calling, texting, emailing, and sending social media messages claiming to be with the IRS.The IRS says they will never threaten you, and they won’t ask for unusual payment forms like iTunes gift cards or a wire transfer.Stacy Engle, an IRS spokesperson based in Indianapolis, says the IRS will never, text, email or send you a Facebook message.
“Generally, initial contact by the IRS is from notice or letter through the United States Postal Service,” said Engle. “In order to verify if you have a balance due, make sure to open all the letters you receive from the IRS. The letter will tell you that you have a balance, and they're warning you we may call you or show up."
Some scammers may also claim they have your tax refund, but the IRS says they will never call you out of the blue about getting your money. If you’re not sure if you owe money, go to an IRS walk-in center or call the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040.Have you been a victim of a scam? Contact WRTV Investigates at [email protected].
