The Minnesota Department of Revenue has issued a warning about a new scam. Fraudsters are calling taxpayers and demanding immediate payments over the phone.
The callers claim to be from the Department of Revenue and tell people they owe the state money and must pay it immediately by credit card or money order or the police will be sent to their home.
The MN Department of Revenue says on their website that they never call taxpayers to demand immediate payment or threaten to send the police to a taxpayer's home.
