Tax season brings out con artists and scammers using various means to separate unsuspecting victims from their expected tax refund or private information.
One such scam has attracted the attention of authorities in Philadelphia, who are extending a warning to everyone about similar efforts by thieves to steal tax refunds and taxpayer identities, according to Fox News
It has been stated before but is worth mentioning again that the IRS will never contact anybody over the phone for any reason, and only operates online, by mail or in person.
Hopefully, nobody falls victim to this scam. That is why it is very important to always be wary and if it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.
