RE: Oct 15 final 2017 tax deadline: Share your tax horror story with BlockTrades

in #blocktrades6 years ago

Thank you @blocktrades this story began in 2013, this is the worst story I have ever received in life, I got a telephone notification from someone claiming to be an IRS member, that I was being audited by the IRS in the nearest future, because I owe them like $ 1000. After panicking hearing this news, because I have done my duty properly. I checked my transaction fees, in fact I paid correctly. But, because of the news. I was very shocked and continued to take it. After a few days, I was told again by telephone, THAT THEY WRONGED. People who want to be on the phone have almost the same name as me. But I still panicked, especially when my economy was in difficult times. I keep checking and being aware of that. Even though I have been called with news. That they are wrong people.

Sort:  

For some reason, that actually happens a lot here in the US lately (people being called and told they owe on their taxes), but here the calls are always by scammers trying to trick people into giving them money. The real tax authority here (IRS) always sends such notices by mail, they don't make phone calls.
