FRS-2026-0841 IRS Impersonation High Severity Jul 5, 2026
Fraudulent IRS Calls Demanding Immediate Wire Payment
Callers claiming to be IRS agents are threatening arrest unless a back-tax balance is paid immediately via wire transfer or gift card. Victims are told warrants have been issued in their name. The IRS does not initiate contact by phone demanding immediate payment, and does not accept gift cards as payment under any circumstances. If you receive such a call, hang up and report it to the Treasury Inspector General at 1-800-366-4484.
