IRS Phone Scam Terrorizes South Florida
What is now being called the largest tax fraud scam ever to occur in the United States is now found to be in our back yard? CBS Miami has reported that a group of unsavory individuals has been posing as IRS agents and running an IRS Phone Scam. Apparently the fraudsters are calling unsuspecting people and threatening them with arrests and other penalties if they do not make immediate payments. Of course, the payments were made through anonymous money wiring and nothing good came from them. At the Law Office of Darrin Mish, we are very familiar with the IRS and if you have been contacted and are not sure what you should contact us today to discuss you tax issues.
