As TIGTA Continues To Warn On IRS Scams, New Treasury Scams Surface

Over the past two years, nearly 4,550 victims have collectively paid over $23 million to scammers posing as Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials. Since October 2013, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 736,000 contacts made to taxpayers demanding that they send them cash via prepaid debit cards.

J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, assured taxpayers that his office was actively pursuing those involved in the fraud, reassuring taxpayers, “We have made progress in our investigation of this scam, resulting in the successful prosecution of some individuals associated with it over the past year. This summer, a ringleader was sentenced to more than 14 years in federal prison. However, this is still a matter of high investigative priority, and we will not rest until all individuals associated with this fraud have been brought to justice.”

But even as TIGTA notes that it continues to receive reports of thousands those bogus calls every month, stories are circulating suggesting that the scam is widening. Scammers are changing tactics and making calls purporting to be directly from the U.S. Treasury. There are a few variations on this scam. In one version, scammers advise that an individual has been awarded a grant or a similar sum of money and in order to collect, the individual needs to provide personal information or a sum of money to “release” the funds. It sounds a little bit like those lottery scams making the rounds but the use of the name of the Office of the Treasury seems to make individuals believe that it’s more legitimate. It is not. TheTreasury advises that it does not have such a program. Further, the Treasury says:

Quote:
Recently we’ve found a twist on these scams, where the email, letter or phone call actually claims to be from the Treasury Inspector General, Eric M. Thorson. Some have convincing details about his career, appear to be on Treasury letterhead, and have links to email addresses such as ericthorson.oig@usa.com. These are frauds. Do not believe them, and do not respond to them. Please send them to OIGCounsel@oig.treas.gov; we will work to shut them down.

Another version of a Treasury scam involves a caller falsely representing that he is from Office of the Treasury and demanding payment or information (just like those bogus IRS calls). These callers have been described as threatening or abusive, and tell victims they need to make immediate payment to forestall arrest. Again, Treasury advises that these calls are frauds.

An even more sophisticated scam effort attempts to convince individuals to buy fraudulent promissory notes and/or private bonds. Some involve what are alleged to be Treasury issued or backed securities. Examples of those fake securities include “Limited Edition” Treasury Securities, One Year “Fresh Cut” Treasury bills; “U.S. Dollar Bonds”; Fraudulent “Federal Notes” or “Bonds” (also called “Morganthaus”); and “Defacto” Treasury Securities. To make it sound more legitimate, scammers may use routing numbers from Treasury bureaus, specifically the Financial Management Service (FMS) and the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD), or a Federal Reserve bank, to make the false notes appear genuine. Don’t be fooled. If you hear these terms, be aware that they are all bogus securities.

Finally, those “redemption” or “acceptance for value” schemes are also completely fraudulent. In these schemes, scammers assert that the United States government has trust accounts linked to each citizen. Promoters tell potential victims that they can gain access to the funds – and discharge their debts – by issuing forms 1099-OID to their creditors. This scam is perpetually on the list of Dirty Dozen scams issued by IRS.

Be smart. There is no magical form or security that will make you rich. The government isn’t holding secret money in your name and no phone call, email or seminar can produce details that say otherwise.

Similarly, the IRS or Treasury won’t be calling you and asking you to provide personal financial information, including PINs and account numbers, over the phone.

These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.
