The IRS contacted me to say I owed a large sum of money. I didn't, but that's another story. If they said they were sending the sheriff over I'd laugh. You get time to check up on your return, or contact your accountant. They tell you which item on your return you got wrong (in their opinion). Not just Pay Up! Today! Yes, I know there are people who can be scammed because of some problems they have. I'm not talking about them, and I feel bad that they are conned like that, it must be hard. nancy |

Reviews of scams here certainly show that. I know my aunt in Australia when she was around 90 was continually scammed, fortunately my cousin discovered it when she was down about A$10,000 and got it stopped. |
