News<\/a>, \u201cwarning of arrest, deportation, or even that your Social Security number will be canceled if you don\u2019t pay up or take some action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These scams typially involve criminals posing as IRS representatives, calling individuals, and demanding payment for supposed back taxes or fines. The scammers often use aggressive tactics, threatening arrest or legal action if their demands are not met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this page, we will examine the IRS scam call problem in depth, exploring the tactics used by scammers, the potential consequences for victims, and what individuals can do to protect themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IRS Scam Calls Tactics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scammers often use a variety of tactics to trick individuals into handing over their money or personal information. They may claim to be IRS representatives and may even use fake badge numbers and caller ID information to make the call appear legitimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may also threaten victims with arrest or legal action if they do not pay up. Additionally, some scammers may use scare tactics, such as claiming that the victim&#8217;s bank account will be frozen, or their assets seized if they do not pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting,\u201d says the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/tax-scams-consumer-alerts\">IRS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of things scammers often do that the IRS never does:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Demand payment over the phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recommend payment via prepaid debit card, gift card, wire transfer, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reach out by phone before sending a notice by U.S. Mail. In other words, if you haven\u2019t received a letter from the IRS, the phone call is probably a scam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Threaten your legal status (having you arrested, deported, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insisting on payment without letting you ask questions about the \u201cdebt\u201d or giving you a chance to appeal it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request debit or credit card numbers over the phone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consequences for Victims<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Falling victim to an IRS scam call can have serious consequences, both financially and emotionally. Not only may individuals lose money to scammers, but they may also be left feeling violated and helpless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, some victims may experience anxiety or depression because of the scam. In some cases, victims may also suffer legal consequences if they inadvertently provide the scammers with personal information that is used to commit identity theft.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"evaluate evaluate--default\">\n    <div class=\"wrapper\">\n\n        <div class=\"evaluate__container\">\n            <form id=\"evaluate-form\" class=\"evaluate__content\" method=\"GET\" action=\"https:\/\/taxreliefprofessional.com\/get-your-quote\">\n                                <h2 class=\"evaluate__title title\">\n                    Evaluate your tax situation\n                <\/h2>\n                                                                <p class=\"evaluate__text\">\n                    By evaluating your tax situation, you can identify areas where you may be able to reduce your tax burden and make informed decisions about your financial future.\n                <\/p>\n                \n                \n\n\n                <div class=\"evaluate__range\">\n                    <div id=\"mydiv\">\n                    <div class=\"get-quote-form__input-holder\">\n                        <select name=\"taxamount\" id=\"taxamount\" required>\n                          <option value=\"\" disabled selected hidden>Please select<\/option>\n                          <option value=\"9999\">0 &#8211;

If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, do not give out any personal information or make any payments over the phone. Instead, hang up and report the call to the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, be aware of common IRS scam call tactics, such as threats of arrest or legal action, and do not fall for them. It is also a good idea to sign up for the IRS&#8217;s &#8220;Do Not Call&#8221; list, which can help to reduce the number of unsolicited calls you receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdwallet.com\/article\/taxes\/avoid-irs-scams\">Nerdwallet<\/a> lists some red flags to be mindful of when you get a call from someone claiming to be with the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>They\u2019re calling you first. (Remember, the IRS opens contact primarily through U.S. Mail, except in rare circumstances.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You found a prerecorded message on your voicemail. If an IRS agent needs something from you, he or she will call you. They don\u2019t use prerecorded messages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The caller isn\u2019t familiar with an HSPD-12 card. \u201cReal IRS agents have two forms of identification: a pocket commission and an HSPD-12 card,\u201d says Nerdwallet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the caller should be happy to send you a picture of it. If they do send one to you, check its authenticity. Go to the IRS website to verify that it recognizes the caller\u2019s credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>The caller insists that you give a credit or debit card over the phone to pay the balance due. This is a telltale sign of an IRS scam call. Never pay your taxes to the IRS under any circumstances. The U.S. Department of Treasury takes tax payments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Still Not Sure if It\u2019s an IRS Scam Call?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCriminals impersonate IRS employees and call taxpayers in aggressive and sophisticated ways,\u201d says the IRS. When scammers catch taxpayers off guard and behave with urgency, it\u2019s important to slow down and take a deep breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRS can be scary for several reasons, but they won\u2019t assess a sudden penalty.
