Division urges businesses to be wary of scam

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation yesterday publicly cautioned Rhode Island businesses owners about a scam in which individuals claim to be collections agents of the Rhode Island Division of Taxation and request immediate payment.

The Division of Taxation does not request cash or other payment by businesses upon demand by visiting businesses in person.

The Division of Taxation has temporarily ceased any in-person collection activity in response to this scam.
