IRS Phone Scam
The IRS scam continues to take victims across the country, and right here in St. Charles. A recent change has been that the scammers are asking for payment over the phone with Apple iTunes cards, which should be a major red flag. While the scammers seem to still prefer to place phone calls, the Aurora Police Department recently shared a fake letter received, viewable on this page, by one of their residents. This signals a shift in the scammers’ methods, and suggests that not as many victims are falling via phone calls and voicemail messages anymore.
