Fake IRS Tax Notice Scam
Scammers send official-looking letters or emails claiming you owe thousands in back taxes. They threaten arrest, license suspension, or property seizure unless you pay immediately using gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency. The real IRS always sends official mail first, never demands immediate payment by gift card, and never threatens arrest over the phone.
