Beware of Scams
Posted by Chad BordeauxWednesday, July 9th, 2008
I posted something about this in a former post regarding scammers trying to steal your tax refunds, but the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issues a new caution today regarding this, and other scams.
Most of these scams consist of e-mails or faxes requesting detailed personal information that appear to be from the IRS.
To keep it short and simple….
The IRS does not send unsolicited emails or faxes from taxpayers. If you get an email or a fax that appears to be from the IRS, it is not.
To determine what to do if you have received this type of information, follow the IRS’s guidelines here.
