Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are making fraudulent robocall from 866-766-3904 claiming potential victims may owe a debt and must contact "Tax Abatement and Mediation Office" at a different number to verify the situation.
"Good morning and happy Friday. My name is Taylor Carson from the tax review office with a tax filing mediation and abatement agency. I’m reaching out because your account is still marked for possible missed filings or outstanding issues, and our office has access to a no-wait proprietary verification line. This line allows you to connect directly and receive exact confirmation immediately, without transfers or hold times. This verification stuff is used to confirm your current status and determine whether payment adjustments, abatement options, or full balance resolution programs may still apply.
Even if you owe back taxes, know this: the IRS’s first contact with you will always come by mail, not by phone. Here’s how to avoid an IRS impersonator and get real help:
Never give an unexpected caller personal or financial information. It’s probably a scammer hoping to drain your bank accounts or steal your identity.
Check it out through IRS.gov. Contact the IRS directly for trustworthy information about your tax situation. Need to speak with someone? Only use a phone number found on the IRS’s website. Never one a scammer gives you.
