Newest IRS Scam - Don't Respond

It is purposely designed to get you worried, so that you stop thinking and just react. To confuse you even further, the bad guys claim this has something to do with the Affordable Care Act.
Remember, the IRS will never initiate contact with you to collect overdue taxes by an email or text message.
If you do receive any emails, text messages, or even live phone calls
about this, do not respond. You can always just hang up the phone.
If you are concerned that the contact is legitimate, please don’t hesitate to call the IRS at 1-800-366-4484 to confirm it is a scam.
