The North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR) recently
issued a warning that there has been an increase in telephone scams from
criminals posing as representatives from federal agencies. Criminals will call
taxpayers requesting payment for delinquent tax bills, and urge taxpayers to
transfer money as quickly as possible from a specific financial institution.
The North Carolina Department of Revenue will never ask for electronic payments
or immediate transfers from a specific financial institution. The Department of
Revenue will also send up to 5 notices by mail before any phone calls are made
requesting payment on an overdue tax bill. The North Carolina Department of
Revenue recommends that if you feel that you received a questionable phone
call, it is best to contact the Department of Revenue directly and speak to a
representative. If you have any questions, please contact us.
