New scam in Georgia

The Internal Revenue Service says there’s a new scam in Georgia involving a fake tax refund. The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports the IRS says victims pay a fee to have someone file for a Social Security tax refund on their behalf. But the IRS says a Social Security tax refund is rare. The scammer pockets the fee and the victim never gets their promised refund. The IRS says taxpayers who did receive a refund must return it because it was a false claim.
