Does Cummings get a kickback, too?

Or just the IRS and its ultracorrupt Commissioners?

FROM THE FTC:

These scammers often:

* call you. But when the IRS contacts people about unpaid taxes, they do it by postal mail, not by phone

* use common names and fake IRS badge numbers

* know the last four digits of your Social Security number

* demand payment via a prepaid debit card or wire transfer.
The IRS doesn’t ask for either of these payment methods, nor will they ask for credit card numbers.

* rig caller ID information to appear as if the IRS really is calling

* send fake emails that look like legitimate IRS correspondence

* make a second call claiming to be the police or department of motor vehicles, rigging the caller ID information

To protect yourself from imposters who call, claiming to be from the IRS:

* don’t provide any account or other personal information. Hang up the phone.

* never wire money to a person or company you don’t know. Once you wire money, you can’t get it back.

* if you owe - or think you owe - federal taxes, call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS workers can help you with your payment questions. You also can visit the IRS website at irs.gov.

* if you’ve already paid your taxes, call and report the incident to TIGTA at 800-366-4484.

* forward emails from the IRS to phishing@irs.gov. Don’t open any attachments or click on any links in those emails.

* file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/complaint. Include “IRS Telephone Scam” in your complaint.

I would invite them over for coffee and a nice little chat....

This further enabled by the criminal administration’s adoption and promotion of the IRS lawlessness.

Tax season may be over, but that has not stopped scammers from continuing to pose as IRS officials and making calls threatening jail, deportation and loss of property.

Hmmm... Indistinguishable for real IRS agents.
