Anyone who receives an annoying\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberbarn.com\/blog\/annoying-robocalls\/\">robocall<\/a> (or two, or two thousand) on their phone knows this to be the case. There are fraudsters out there placing fake phone calls trying to lure you into sharing your personal contact information to allow them to snag all your money. We know you are #NumberSmart and therefore not going to fall victim to this, but we like to keep you in the loop to inform others around you.<\/p>\n<p>A trend with which we are noticing higher volume is one involving the IRS. And yes, this seems to be happening even after tax season.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Here&#8217;s what happens:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You receive a call\u00a0from someone saying that you they owe thousands of dollars in taxes\/fines and there\u2019s a warrant out for your arrest. They may answer the call with something like, &#8220;<em>Mr. Johnson, my name is Eileen and my badge ID is\u2026\u2026according to what we see here, you owe $4,751 in back taxes. Are you aware of this? What is the name of your accountant?<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you answer with your accountant&#8217;s information, you may witness a fake conversation in the background of &#8220;Eileen&#8221; talking to a police officer. They then tell you that your accountant has denied all responsibility and it is up to you to pay the fine, which you must do right now or else you will be arrested.<\/p>\n<p>You may also begin to notice this happening via a text message.
