These callers may demand money or may say you have a refund due and try to trick you into sharing private information. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They may know a lot about you, and they usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. If you don’t answer, they often leave an “urgent” callback request. Do not give them any personal information. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our office. 672-4770

Here is a video issued by the IRS with further explanation.
