Good Afternoon;

Recently, we have had more local reports of an “oldie but goodie” scam: The IRS Call Scam.

The caller claims to be from the IRS, and states that monies are owed, that the IRS is filing suit against the recipient of the call, and that a warrant is being issued for the call recipient’s arrest, unless funds are paid and information is given. Sometimes it is an automated call that instructs the call recipient to call back. This is a scam. The IRS does NOT call individuals regarding any tax issues.

The United States Treasury and the IRS are aware of these scam calls, and have warnings on their websites
