Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

Buffalo, NY (April 4, 2016)—As we get closer to the tax filing deadline of April 18th, Better Business Bureau of Upstate New York wants everyone to know that tax and IRS scammers are STILL making calls, trying to trick people into paying taxes they don’t owe.

If you receive a call, remember:

• The IRS will never call you

• Don’t wire any money

• Just hang up and don’t call back

• Never give out your personal information or banking information

If you get an email, BBB offers this advice:

• Don’t reply to the message

• Don’t give out your personal or financial information

• Forward the email to phishing@irs.gov, then delete it

• Don’t open any attachments or click on any links

• Report the email to BBB’s Scam Tracker
