Government Impostor Scams Telephone Town Hall

Tax time is here again and so are impostors. Scammers posing as IRS agents or Treasury Department officials are out there once again, calling and trying to convince taxpayers that they owe back taxes.  Know this: the IRS will initially contact you through the mail if you owe back taxes. Join our Government Impostor Scams Telephone Town Hall at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6 to get more tips to avoid scams. To sign up to receive a call and listen in, register here.
