Monitoring your online accounts could save your tax refund
With the tax season underway, malicious actors target taxpayers by claiming discrepancies with their account information. These scammers use fear tactics to swindle you into making rash decisions and handing over financial info. University IT advises you to monitor your online accounts and bank statements regularly and be cautious of how tax information is shared. If you’re contacted, ask yourself: Are you using a tax professional? Are you sharing sensitive data with them over a secured network? Any stolen tax information could compromise your refund and identity. If you receive suspicious phone calls, emails, or text messages or notice errors related to your bank accounts, contact your bank or credit card provider immediately through their verified contact information.
