re: #377 lawhawk

Some of these IRS scams are insidious and sophisticated though. They can spoof the actual IRS or state tax agency phone numbers, have some easily available public information about the marks, and make demands that someone who might not be sophisticated or understand their tax obligations feel like they’re talking to an official IRS or state tax official.

They need only get SSN, tax ID, birth date and address info, bank accounts, and they can wreak havoc.

its amazing how many people dont get that the irs doesnt call you on the phone
