It’s not your imagination — tax extortion scams are skyrocketing cnbc.com/2019/04/15/tax…
Remember: The IRS will NEVER call to demand immediate payment, or call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill. 
The IRS will NEVER demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
The IRS will NEVER require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card or cash.
The IRS will NEVER ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.
The IRS will NEVER threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.
The IRS will NEVER initiate contact by email or text message to request personal or financial information.
An IRS Agent will ALWAYS provide identification when requested.
