The IRS’s sending of about 1.4 million CP53E notices sparked concerns about errors and fraud. A release from the Taxpayer Advocate Service urged taxpayers to verify their accounts directly on IRS.gov.

IRS “Encrypted Voicemail” CP‑902 — Scam Alert
A voicemail or call claiming to be from the IRS, such as one with a code like CP‑902 or “encrypted” language, is almost certainly a tax debt scam. The IRS does not send urgent, threatening, or prerecorded messages about your account unless you’ve already received a written notice in the mail IRS+1.

Why this is a scam
No initial phone contact: The IRS contacts taxpayers by mail first. If you get a voicemail or robocall about a balance, levy, or “resolution” program, it’s not the IRS IRS+1.

Urgency and threats: Scammers often say you’ll be arrested, have a warrant, or face a levy if you don’t act immediately. Real IRS communications do not threaten arrest in a voicemail IRS+1.

Fake program names: They may mention real IRS programs like “Offer in Compromise” or “Fresh Start” to sound legitimate, but the IRS will never offer these to you over the phone without reviewing your case in writing MalwareTips Forums+1.

Unsolicited numbers: Never call a number given in a suspicious voicemail or text. Use only the IRS contact numbers on IRS.gov Brinker Simpson & Company, LLC.

Red flags to watch for
You didn’t receive a written notice from the IRS about your account.

The message is urgent, threatening, or demands immediate action.

It asks for payment via gift cards, wire transfers, or prepaid debit cards — the IRS never uses these IRS+1.
SCAM ALERT!!!!!!

In checking my email this morning - I personally received THREE - yes I said THREE - emails claiming they are from the IRS leaving an encrypted voicemail and to click the link!

Here is what the IRS is saying:

It uses technical or legal jargon to sound official, but skips details like penalty codes or calculation methods legalclarity.org.
What to do
Do not call back to the number in the voicemail.

Ignore the message and treat it as a scam.

Verify any IRS contact by calling the IRS at 1‑800‑829‑1040 (TTY 1‑800‑733‑2100) or using the number on IRS.gov.

Check your mail for IRS letters or notices — these are the only legitimate first contacts.

Report the scam to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov or to your phone carrier.

Bottom line: If you get a voicemail or call about an IRS account, balance, or “resolution” program, it’s almost certainly a scam. The IRS will not contact you by phone or voicemail unless you’ve already received a written notice. Stay on the phone line, and verify any contact through official IRS channels IRS+2.

Federal Limits Still Apply in Missouri
Even though the state of Missouri allows surcharging, you still need to comply with federal regulations.

Here’s what that means:

Credit card surcharges cannot exceed 4% of the transaction amount.
Surcharges are only allowed on credit cards (not debit cards or prepaid cards).
Merchants must clearly disclose surcharges to customers before the transaction is completed.
Surcharge fees should appear as a separate line item on receipts.
These federal regulations establish a baseline that all merchants across the country must follow, regardless of what the state laws say. Many states have stricter requirements, but Missouri isn’t one of them.
