NATIONWIDE IRS SCAM ALERT

A nationwide scam targeting taxpayers continues to grow. In a new effort to take money from unsuspecting victims, fraudsters are sending out phony tax bills on what purports to be official IRS letterhead. They are also sending out e-mails from false websites that contain “IRS” in the Web address.  In addition, scammers claiming to be IRS employees continue to call taxpayers, telling them they owe taxes and must pay fast. Please keep your guard up and don’t fall victim to any of these scams.
