ANOTHER SCAM SURFACES IN NEW MEXICO. BILL BRUNSON WITH THE I-R-S IN NEW MEXICO SAYS PARENTS AND STUDENTS ARE GETTING CALLS FROM PEOPLE POSING AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE I-R-S AND TELLING FAMILIES THEY NEED TO PAY SOME TAXES, SUCH AS THE “FEDERAL STUDENT TAX.” BRUNSON SAYS THERE IS NO SUCH THING.
HE SAYS THE SCAMMERS THREATEN TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO DON’T PAY ARRESTED, SOMETHING THE I-R-S WOULD NOT DO. IF YOU’RE TARGETED BY SCAMMERS, HANG UP AND REPORT THE CALL TO F-T-C OR CONTACT THE AGENCY AT WWW.FTC.GOV.
