AUDIO: Tax Scam Targets New Canaan Residents
|
This past weekend, a New Canaan resident reported receiving an unsolicited telephone call in which a caller claims taxes are past due. This call (click on audio file above) appears to be computer-generated, but other calls may be initiated by live callers. These calls are scams and the caller is not legitimate. IRS contact with taxpayers on a federal tax issue is likely to occur via United States mail. Residents should:
Never give personal information (dates of birth, social security numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, computer passwords, etc.) to unknown persons over the telephone or electronically.
