It's Hard to tell the Difference, One is a Scam, the Other is Extortion - IRS imposters demand money for past taxes

Both are thieves who abscond with your money and time! m/r

IRS imposters demand money for past taxes

Susan Tompor, Detroit Free Press Personal Finance Columnist7:27 a.m. EDT October 20, 2014

Scammers pretending to be from the IRS are taking advantage of real taxpayer fear of the Internal Revenue Service. Some experts say the federal government needs to work harder to stop the con artists.


Jennifer Blanzy, 53, returned home from exercising one Saturday morning in September only to find out that someone was threatening to put her in jail because she wasn't responding to letters from the IRS.
The message left on the answering machine at her Grosse Pointe Park home said: "Do not ignore this phone call."
"So I called right away," Blanzy said.
After all, Blanzy's husband was wondering what was going on; her young daughter was frightened that something bad was going to happen to her mother. But quickly calling the number only stirred up frustration and out-right bullying from someone claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service.
By now, one would think that most people have heard the warnings about the scam artists who are claiming to be from the IRS. The con artists yell and shout and threaten that people will go to jail or lose their drivers' licenses if they don't hand over money quickly.
