Experts said common schemes this tax season will be texts, email and phone scams. Officials with the Alabama Better Business Bureau said there are ways to make sure you don’t fall for them.
“I mean you pay them to file your taxes and they steal your identity,” Garet Smitherman with the BBB said. “This time of year, we just want to remind people to protect your personally identifiable information. Your name, social, date of birth, these are the things that nowadays, a lot of trouble can come your way.”
“Refunds being funneled into the company’s account instead of into the customers account,” Smitherman said. “Make sure if you are hiring a tax preparer person that you are researching who that is,” he said. “If you’re looking at any of these kinds of companies, hopefully we have a record on them. Then, hopefully that record is substantial enough to point you one way or the other.”
