NY-AG v. Unknown

Unknown bad actors allegedly use a wide range of deceptive tactics, including impersonating government officials and falsely claiming to file people’s taxes, to steal money and personal information from unsuspecting New Yorkers. According to NY-AG, fraudsters claim you owe past tax debts and insist that you pay using a prepaid credit card or gift card or make false promises of free tax preparation services, only to deceive people into paying for those services.
