Called and left voicemail saying they were the IRS (lol), and that the IrS was filing a lawsuit against me. Of course I did't call back but considered doing so just to have a little fun. The IRS doesn't have an office in Walton Ky. Anyway, if you receive a call, text, or email, remember this: IRS employees will NOT: Call demanding immediate payment. The IRS will not call a taxpayer if they owe tax without first sending a bill in the mail. Demand payment without allowing the taxpayer to question or appeal the amount owed. Require the taxpayer pay their taxes a certain way. For example, demand taxpayers use a prepaid debit card. Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. Threaten to contact local police or similar agencies to arrest the taxpayer for non-payment of taxes. Threaten legal action such as a lawsuit. If a taxpayer doesn’t owe or think they owe any tax, they should: Contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. Use TIGTA’s “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting” web page to report the incident. Report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant” on FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your report. In most cases, an IRS phishing scam is an unsolicited, bogus email that claims to come from the IRS. Criminals often use fake refunds, phony tax bills or threats of an audit. Some emails link to sham websites that look real. The scammers’ goal is to lure victims to give up their personal and financial information. If they get what they’re after, they use it to steal a victim’s money and their identity. For those taxpayers who get a ‘phishing’ email, the IRS offers this advice: Don’t reply to the message. Don’t give out your personal or financial information. Forward the email to phishing@irs.gov. Then delete it. Do not open any attachments or click on any links. They may have malicious code that will infect your computer. More information on how to report phishing or phone scams is available on IRS.gov.
