So, as with every tax season, the IRS scam calls have begun! I got called yesterday and today by an automated message claiming to be from "Agent Marcus Brown" and that during an audit they found fraud on my accounts and that I needed to call them back or an arrest would be made.
Please remember that the IRS WILL NOT CALL YOU! You will recieve letters IN THE MAIL about any discrepancies. DO NOT call these numbers back and DO NOT give them ANY of your information!
You can call the IRS to report these scams at:800-366-4484
Or go on line and report it at: https://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml
Reporting the phone numbers and "agent" names helps the IRS stop these scams! DO NOT be afraid to report them!
