Tax Season IRS Scams Surface in NM

DON’T BECOME A VICTIM OF A SCAM THIS TAX SEASON. I-R-S SPECIAL AGENT BRIAN WATSON SAYS NEW MEXICANS NEED TO BE WARY OF ANY EMAILS THEY GET ASKING FOR SOME KIND OF PAYMENT OR PERSONAL INFORMATION. HE SAYS THE EMAILS CLAIM TO BE FROM THE I-R-S. HE SAYS THE OTHER FORM OF THE SCAM IS OVER THE PHONE.
