Tax Scam In Minnesota

Minnesota State officials are warning of a scam by a group posing as the Minnesota Department of Revenue that uses claims of tax refunds as bait to obtain personal data.

The department says scammers are seeking personal or banking information of taxpayers.

Callers are going by "`Minnesota Revenue.''

The state agency says it doesn't call people about the size of their refunds.
