Tax day may be over but not for these scammer. The IRS is reporting a huge uptick in IRS scams all over the country.

Law enforcement officials from Rhode Island to Kentucky to Hawaii are warning taxpayers that IRS impersonation scams are on the rise – and those scammers are becoming more aggressive.

This week, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin posted a press release advising taxpayers that scammers have added a twist: creating a network of calls and numbers to trick taxpayers into believing the calls are legitimate. Instead of simply calling and hanging up, the calls now involve a voicemail requesting a call back. Attorney General Kilmartin said, about the scam, “Just when we are on to the scam and alert consumers what to look for, these outfits change up the game and, as a result, people are more likely to fall for it.”

In Canton, Michigan, calls to taxpayers are spoofing the Canton police: in other words, the Canton Police Department number is showing on the caller ID when the scammers call. When a taxpayer answers the phone, they are told the police department is calling to collect money owed to the IRS. Similar calls are being fielded in Detroit, Michigan.

In Kentucky, the Better Business Bureau has reported an uptick in complaints about callers who claim to be IRS officials and who threaten taxpayers with legal action if they don’t send payment via prepaid debit cards, money orders or bank wire transfers. According to the Jack Frank, President and CEO of the BBB serving Central and Eastern Kentucky, “People receiving the call report a recorded message stating that a lawsuit will be filed unless the taxpayer returns the call immediately to the IRS to make good on back taxes owed. The calls are really from con artists pretending to be with the IRS to try and trick people into paying money to them.” So far, thankfully, Frank says no caller has reported falling for the scam.
