BIR warns of impostor harassing offices

THE Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in a “notice to the public” on Wednesday said it has received reports that “an individual impersonating or representing himself as (Deputy Commissioner) Arnel SD. Guballa of the Operations Group or a member of his staff has been making telephone calls to certain offices in various Revenue Regions.”
“Consequently, everyone is hereby warned to be cautious when confronted with such calls and advised to be vigilant by confirming the identity of the supposed caller at the Office of the DCIR for Operations at (632) 924-3242,” the BIR said.
