AARP PA WARNS ABOUT RISE IN IRS IMPERSONATION SCAMS

As tax season approaches, AARP Pennsylvania warns older adults about a rise in IRS impersonation scams.

Fraudsters pose as IRS agents through calls, emails, or visits, pressuring victims to share personal info or send money via untraceable methods like gift cards. The real IRS usually contacts by mail—never by phone or text. If contacted, verify through the official IRS website and report any suspicious activity.
