From FINRA:
“The IRS impersonation scam is back, and it’s a prime example of fraudsters using a very personal resource - your phone – as a weapon, to try and take your money. It rings, and the person on the other end claims to be from the IRS. The caller is aggressive, sounds official, and demands immediate payment of taxes on the spot. Sometimes there are threats pay up now, or face arrest or some other serious repercussion.”
