The IRS phone scammers are out in force again. One of the phone numbers they call from is 306-602-6085. They tell you that you owe some large amount of money in back taxes, and you need to settle with them TODAY, or you will be arrested within the next 45 minutes. They try to get you to pay them a small fee via your credit card to prevent your arrest. Several different scammer groups are running this scam. The ones at this number sound like they are from India. Other sound Asian.
Here's the facts:
1. The IRS will NEVER call you. They always communicate with you in writing.
2. No one can arrest you without a warrant signed by a judge in your jurisdiction (or a federal judge, if the case is federal).
