Authored by,

It’s tax filing season once more, and time for us all to be particularly mindful of tax scams that exploit honest taxpayers and busy tax preparers. The complexity of the tax code and a general fear and misunderstanding of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) make the tax system vulnerable to scammers, and technology makes it easy for the bad guys to cast a wide net and quickly reach a large number of targets.

Scams you need to know
Beware of Romance Scams

What is a romance scam?
A romance scam is a situation in which a scammer typically creates a fake online dating profile, feigns romantic interest in an unsuspecting victim, and uses the manufactured feelings associated with the “relationship” to commit fraud. Fraudsters prey on people searching for a real human connection, and by gaining the trust of these individuals, get access to anything from bank accounts and credit cards, to passports and social security numbers. Scammers typically concoct a story about a fake crisis that requires money immediately, like a medical emergency, in order to bilk victims of thousands of dollars.
