ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL LISA MADIGAN AND THE I-R-S ARE WARNING CONSUMERS ABOUT PHONE AND TAX SCAMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY CIRCULATING.
ATTORNEY GENERAL MADIGAN SAYS THE I-R-S PHONE SCAM IS BECOMING MORE PREVALENT. THAT’S WHERE A CON ARTIST TRIES TO GET YOU TO REVEAL PRIVATE INFORMATION BY SAYING YOU OWN MONEY OR ARE DUE A REFUND FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
ADDITIONALLY…THE I-R-S HAS SEEN CASES WHERE YOU’RE SENT A FAKE TAX BILL VIA EMAIL OR LETTER SAYING YOU OWE MONEY RELATED TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
THE I-R-S IS ALSO WARNING ABOUT FAKE TAX BILLS BEING SENT, LIKE EMAILS SENT TO HUMAN RESOURCE OFFICERS SEEKING PERSONAL EMPLOYEE INFORMATION.
