WARNING! FAKE IRS Calls!
WARNING! Tax time also means FAKE IRS calls. Don’t be fooled by these crooks!
The safest way to check if it is the REAL IRS is hang up and go to www.IRS.gov and call the number on that website. The IRS goes through a very formal process of gathering information and would not ask for payment information over the phone or through e-mail. If you get threatened by the callers, the IRS does not do that either.
Again, the safest thing to do is hang up and if you have real concern then call the IRS from the number on their website.
