Good evening.
The letter you received telling you that you have received a refund check or have a refund check unclaimed where $30 is the value of claiming your Federal Refund Check is usually a SCAM and should be reported immediately to the Internal Revenue Service.
Depending on the refund type and the amount there are letters generated from the IRS concerning the refund type and the amount. However, absolutely NO FEE is assigned to receiving your federal refund check.
Should you receive a notice from the Internal Revenue Service and you suspect something you are always welcome to contact the Internal Revenue Service, or your State Tax commission to determine the validity of the letter. Have the letter present with you when you call to get assistance on this issue.
The Internal Revenue Service Accounts division can look up your account if this is not a "proposed change to your tax return" or CP 2000 or 2001 notice where no action has yet been taken but a proposed change before action is taken has been sent.
To contact the Internal Revenue Service call 1-800-829-1040, (1-800-TAX-1040) or log onto www.ustreas.gov and click on the link for IRS forms and publications. Download publication 17 in PDF format. In publication 17 the process of your returns filing and "what if I get a notice from the IRS" is available.
I have past employment with the IRS and can explain in detail the processes to which you receive notices with various situations.
As for scams and shams - there are a wide number of them out there. This is part of the United States Secret Service investigative arm of the Federal Government. The FBI assists in many instances and penalties are stiff for such activities. If you suspect that a notice you've received is a fraud, start with your local law enforcement office. As with the IRS fraudulant messages like that are eventually forwarded to the Criminal Investigations Division of the Internal Revenue Service and efforts are undertaken to protect your identity, tax records, and other important and sensitive information.
If you have any questions you are free to e-mail me privately.
Sincerely,
Brian R Cross.

We inspire all worked-to-dying center type sycophants to jot down letters to all IRS workplaces to whinge, thereby multiplying in compounds the charges already charged to the midsection type for the unique IRS letters (rates that are noticeably larger than your estimates, when you consider which you haven't any longer risk-free hard work processing time, paper and envelope expenses, and so forth., at the two government workplaces and positioned up place of work). They try this to stretch their budgets, so whilst funds approvals come around next time, they get extra center-type tax funds for government leaders' precise type French eating place nightly events. funds approvals are based on the previous years' waste ranges. Edit1 - the guy with the "valid" reason self-gratification "as though residing below a type prosperous type government" can't look to determine that the same "do no longer forward" tactic may well be used whilst the verify is finally mailed (besides the actuality that the IRS does not would desire to be chasing you around besides). the guy with the attack on "socialist courses" can't look to realize that no courses, no count if consistent with risk defined as socialist, capitalistic, communistic, anarchistic, monarchistic, amish or however will sanction abuse of public money - so that's going to be terrific to make your strategies up who's pushing you around, particularly than in basic terms flail, till now sounding off.

No it is not. Check with your local IRS office to see if this claim is real they will be able to tell you if you have any unclaimed money.

Absolutely not...do not send any money..it's a scam. The IRS would never charge you to claim a check. Contact the IRS and let them know so that they can investigate it.

Nope. If someone owes you money, you don't have to pay them to get it. It's a scam.
