The Internal Revenue Service issued another strong warning for consumers to guard against sophisticated and aggressive phone scams. The IRS will always send taxpayers a written notification of any tax due via the U.S. mail. The IRS never asks for credit card, debit card or prepaid card information over the telephone. Potential victims may be told they are entitled to big refunds or that they owe money that must be paid immediately to the IRS. When unsuccessful the first time, sometimes phone scammers call back trying a new strategy. Please, if it sounds too good to be true, it ALWAYS is!
