The IRS warned last Thursday (30th) that it received several reports of scams involving loans and took the opportunity to provide guidance on how to avoid them.
According to the agency, the alleged credit companies condition the release of the amount to the advance payment of the Tax on Financial Operations (IOF).
To convince the victim to collect non-existent fees for the release of the money, the swindlers show fake notifications and collection documents.
According to the reports received by the Revenue, the payment of the alleged fees or IOF are made through transfers via Pix to individuals.
“This is a coup, since the Federal Revenue does not provide data for the collection of taxes or fees via transfer”, informs the agency in a note.
The collection of the IOF is made only through the Federal Revenue Collection Document (Darf), paid by the entity that provides the credit and not by the taxpayer.
In addition, Revenue officials do not provide loan services to the population and do not contact them to collect these types of fees.
If a coup is suspected, the agency’s orientation is to file a report with the police, providing all possible evidence.
