Because it is tax season, cybercriminals are increasing their use of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) themed scams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These scams can include well-crafted phishing emails, text messages and phone calls. Cybercriminals are also using AI to create deepfakes, making their scam pitches even more believable. Other tactics include using social media to post fake content about false information, such as \u201csecret refunds\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with most of these scams, their goal is to obtain personal information from you to use in their attack. Or they may try to solicit funds directly from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be aware that the IRS will never contact taxpayers directly by email, text messages or phone calls. Instead, they will contact you by letter sent through the U.S. Postal Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
