While the IRS Impersonation Phone Calls still manage to trick people into handing over their personal information, scammers have found other phone call methods to utilize. These are:
The “Federal Student Tax”:
Scammers impersonating the IRS try and contact students to convince them they must pay the “federal student tax,” even past the tax deadline. If the victim does not cooperate, they are threatened to be reported to the police.
The IRS will not call to demand an immediate payment over the phone, nor will they threaten to bring in law enforcement. They also won’t call about taxes owed without having mailed a bill first.
“Verifying” Tax Return Information on the Phone:
The scam artist will call saying they have your tax return, and they need to verify a few details to process the return. This scam attempts to try and give up personal information such as your Social Security Number or financial information.
The IRS does not ask for any sensitive information over the phone such as your Social Security Number, credit card information, or bank information.
