IRS Scam Is At It Again

What is that about?

@poehere ......Oh, I see. It wasn't like that before. You really have to watch out now days. Everything is a scam it seems like. Even just doing common business now days is a harrowing experience.

@celticeagle The IRS scam calls are like other calls. They give you a phone number to call back. However, this number is not in the US, but some other country. The calling rates for this country are outrageous and you are suckered with a big phone bill. The person who answers the phone on the other end tries to keep the caller on the phone for over an hour. When the person receives his phone bill he can be charged up to 400 dollars for the call. This is how that scam work or other scam similar to this one.

yes indeed.

@infatuatedbby .......I think many older folks believe and don't think about scammers.

@celticeagle It's sad people fall for these scams :(

@celticeagle a few of my clients are vulnerable to these predatory type calls. They are wise to the computer or auto insurance calls as most don't own either. However, they would believe a call from the IRS as being real.

@ElusiveButterfly ......Maybe they need a update on their call types.

Very sad. These people need to know the truth.

Right. I recall a time when I was young when I didn't take enough tax out of my paychecks so the IRS was after me. They never called. All done by letters.

Sure is.
