I walked into my office today hearing a call from a very scary serious sounding recorded voice saying the IRS has filed a lawsuit against you and to call this number asap to hear more details, I'm posting the number here for anyone looking online who gets the same call. 347-389-0010. I hope everyone is aware that the IRS will NEVER call you for any official business. They send out information by mail.


There are many types of scams going on right now nationwide.I searched the term "Con artist scams" under the "news" category and got pages and pages of them from around the nation for the month of June alone. I found scams based on everything from tree trimmers, to rental properties to the targeting of illegal Irish immigrants. This is just a friendly reminder to question everything!


I'll be reporting this according to the advice found on the IRS Scam page attached below. http://www.irs.gov/uac/Ne...

Our news did a report on scams last night! In our area it is people pretending to be your bank calling to say there has been suspicious activity on your account. This one gets a lot of people because credit card companies might do it for real.

Don't ever reply from a cell phone. They can hack your phone and steal all sorts of info.

I don't answer the phone unless I know who it is. I WILL admit I've missed a few calls because this includes 800 numbers but if it's important, they'll call back. I think.

Haha, I don't either. Everyone on my call list has a ringtone, if I am not expecting a call from someomne not on my call list, I ignore anything that isn't a friend or family.

Don't be suckered. I got a text message the other day from a bank I have never heard of telling me there had been a hack and I needed to call their number to secure my account. I texted back that I thought it a better idea if I alerted the authorities of them and the number they gave. I don't deal w...

Last night the news reported a scam near here that requested money for a high school team. They posted huge signs and had received lots of money.
