Wake Up TriCounties Clay Sanford IRS News

The IRS is warning people about a new scam going around. It's nicknamed SMISHING after SMS Text Messages. The scam involves sending texts to random people with links in the text. The official looking text asks you to click a link and when you do it installs Malware on your phone. It's also used to steal information stored on your phone. We talked about this scam with IRS Agent Clay Sanford on Wake Up Tri-Counties on Friday. Clay also talked about the upcoming October 15th deadline for those who filed for a tax extension in April of this year.
