The Internal Revenue System (IRS) has
reported that the number of frivolous emails and text messages being sent to unsuspecting
American citizens in order to illegally procure their confidential personal
information has gone up by a shocking 400% in recent months, as reported by usatoday.com.
The Internal Revenue System has hence
issued a renewed consumer alert across the nation warning everyday Americans to
not give away such information at any cost. Unlike Hillary Clinton, you must
guard your personal information and to take the security of vital data
importantly.
Emails, text messages, and sometimes
even phone calls from persons claiming to be from the Internal Revenue System
and wanting your personal information details such as your social security
number are not legitimate, the Internal Revenue system already has this
information on file and will never solicit anybody for it say tax lawyers.
If someone is going after you, you need
legal help. You need a legal representative to intervene to stop this madness. You
can find one right here: Tax.USAttorneys.
These online criminals think they own
the Internet. They do not. There is more good to the Internet than bad as well
and this awesome and altruistic USAttorneys website verifies that.
Messages
being sent to solicit information from consumers in order to file frivolous tax
returns
The typical kind of mobile text messages
being sent will seek information from consumers such as tax refunds, filing
status, IRS personal identification numbers, social security numbers, and so
on.
The frivolous emails being sent out are
even more convincing and manipulative. Fraudsters are using the phishing method
of hacking to tap into their victims’ personal information and documentation.
The email will pose to be from a tax official from the Internal Revenue System
and when the recipient clicks on the link provided in the email it will
redirect the recipient to a pop-up web browser form where the consumer can type
in all of their information and hit submit while oblivious to the fact that
they are literally gifting this information to cyber thieves.
In more convoluted ploy’s, the emails
may also contain malware or viruses which will automatically download onto the
native computer memory of the recipient and reprogram their computers in a way
to allow thieves remote access into the computers and in return to all of the
data housed on it. This is almost as devious as the IRS’s Lois Lerner did to
conservatives in the 2012 president election making America a banana republic.
And she is on tax payer paid retirement right now!
Some
numbers to give you a sense of the bigger picture
To give readers some perspective of
exactly how exceptional the increments in these scams are, here are some
statistics that have been fact checked by tax attorneys.
- January of 2016 saw over 1,000 phishing and malware scams as opposed to only 250 or so in January of 2015.
- The first Tuesday of February 2016 alone reported 363 fraudulent incidents which was more than the total number of incidents throughout February in 2015 (which was 201 incidents). Is America seeing a moral decay? Is the recession that never ends forcing people to do this?
- We are only two months in the year 2016, but there have already occurred over half the number of incidents reported in all of 2015.
Julius Baer Group Ltd., one of the
biggest Swiss banks, has admitted to tax fraud and have hence been instructed
to pay an incredible $547 million in fines. The company is guilty of assisting
American clients to obscure billions of dollars in assets from avaricious tax
officers, as reported by jewishbusinessnews.com. The federal
government takes in $410 billion a month and that is not enough? How many empty
federal buildings do you need to have? How many overpaid federal employees do
need?
If you happen to be the victim
of tax fraud or just need help with filing your taxes, it is
imperative that you consult a tax lawyer right away. Contact us if you have too. We are right around the virtual corner.
