Oregon Deptartment of Revenue offers tips to avoid tax scams
The best way for taxpayers
to make payments direct-
ly to the Oregon Depart-
ment of Revenue (ODR) is
through Revenue Online at
oregon.gov/dor. It’s secure
and includes all the informa-
tion necessary to ensure the
payment is properly applied
to the correct account.
Here are some tips to help
you identify scam attempts.
• Scammers make un-
solicited calls. Thieves call
taxpayers claiming to be
representatives of the Ore-
gon Department of Revenue
or other tax officials. They
demand that the victim pay
a bogus tax bill and may use
threats or a sense of urgency
to con the victim into send-
ing cash, usually through a
prepaid debit card or wire
transfer.
The Department of Rev-
enue never uses methods
like these when making
calls. Hang up on suspicious
phone calls. No matter how
urgent a message makes a
situation sound, you can al-
ways hang up, call the De-
partment of Revenue at 503-
378-4988 or 800-356-4222,
and know that you’re dealing
with an actual government
employee.
• Scammers send letters.
Letters often contain legit-
imate logos, addresses and
phone numbers to fool you.
Sometimes, these letters ex-
pose themselves as scams
through blurry logos, mis-
spellings and poor gram-
mar. Letters are usually in
the form of a fake tax bill or
claiming an error with your
account. Letters from the
ODR will have information
that is verifiable through its
website and every letter is
printed with an identifica-
tion number in the upper
right corner.
• Some scams that start
as unsolicited calls or letters
may also try to send you to
fake websites. These web-
sites are designed to look
like and official federal or
state agency site. Remember
that the Oregon Department
of Revenue’s web address
will always begin with an
“https://” designation and
be from the “.gov” extension.
Always Look for these in the
web address when entering
financial information.
