Oneonta Police Warn of IRS Scam
Oneonta police are warning about scammers and cyberthieves continuing to use the IRS as bait. The most common tax scams are phone calls and emails using the IRS name, logo, fake employee names and badge numbers to try to steal money and identities from taxpayers. The agency never calls demanding immediate payments or requires payments to be made by specific ways such as with a prepaid debit card.
