IRS Warns Taxpayers to Be Wary of Scammers

Scammers
20 Apr 2023

The Internal Revenue System (IRS) urges taxpayers and tax professionals providing accounting services in Hollywood, Florida and the whole country to remain vigilant in the face of emails and text scams aimed at tricking people about refunds or tax issues in the 2023 Dirty Dozen tax scams. 

These messages arrive in the form of unsolicited texts or emails which try to lure unsuspecting victims into providing valuable personal and financial information that can lead to identity theft. Taxpayers should be on the lookout for phishing schemes where an email comes from an apparently legitimate organization and lures the victim into a scam. Smishing is another way identity information is stolen via text or smartphone message that uses the same technique as phishing. Scammers frequently use taxes as a way of tricking people and this type of fraud is prevalent during tax season especially when there are no professional auditors assisting the taxpayers.
