Carmel, CA IRS Warns Of New Tax Refund Scam


There are always a number of scams targeting seniors and the general population and those in wealthy areas of Monterey County like Carmel, Pacific Grove and Pebble beach are always ripe targets.  The current scam goes like this.  A cardboard envelope shows up from a delivery service with a letter inside using IRS masthead telling you to contact them about your unclaimed refund.  The scammers ask that you take a  copy of your drivers license that clearly displays all four angles, and the photos are taken in a place with good lighting.  They also ask for your cellphone number, bank routing information, Social Security number and additional bank details.  Don’t fall for this!
