In a post last month, I include a recording of an obviously fake voice message warning about payment and fines due to the IRS. If you've read my blog in the past, I talk a lot about scams and give tips to avoid them. We've often discussed that legitimate organizations should not just contact you and ask for personal information.
That just makes sense.
But telling the difference between a legitimate call and a scam call has gotten harder.
A reader let me know that the IRS is now using collection agencies to collect back taxes! That just makes it even tougher to tell the difference between a legit collection call and a scam!
