IRS warns of phone scam

TAMPA (FOX 13) -

A warning from federal investigators: if the phone rings and somebody on the other end claims to be from the IRS, you should ignore the call and phone authorities.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, says the phone scam is the largest ever and has cost Americans $4 million.

Florida is one of the top targets for scammers, as James "Bear" Wilson found out first hand. When the Tampa man listened to the message left on his answering machine, here's what the caller said:

“Hi, this is John Smith calling from the crime investigation unit of the IRS. The IRS has issued a warrant for your arrest.”

"It scared me at first, a warrant for my arrest," said Wilson.

Federal investigators say thousands of people in Florida have also received the alarming calls, and nationwide the number is more than 60,000.

"It's the largest scam of this type that I'm aware of in my 23 years of law enforcement," said Tim Camus, Deputy Inspector General at TIGTA.

Camus says the scammers are rude and forceful, and will threaten people with jail or large fines.
