Beware of IRS scams!

This week there is a phone scam occurring mainly in Montgomery County, Texas. Fraudsters have been calling residents claiming to represent the Internal Revenue Service, IRS, and telling potential victims that they either owe money to the IRS or are due a refund. The callers then try to acquire financial and personal information.

These types of scams happen often throughout the country. We want to give you a few tips on how to recognize an IRS phone scam.

The IRS will not:

  • Call about taxes owed without mailing you a notification first.
  • Call to demand immediate payment.
  • Ask for financial information such as credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
  • Threaten to have law enforcement arrest you if you do not make immediate payment.

If you have been a victim to one of these scams please contact your local law enforcement right away.
