We are aware of an ongoing telephone scam where an individual claiming to be an IRS agent calls residents, states there is an arrest warrant or legal proceedings against the victim, and that the matter can be cleared up by making an immediate wire payment by such services as Western Union or Money Gram.
The IRS does not conduct business in this manner. They will contact people by certified US mail. They do not call and demand immediate payment to avoid criminal charges.
If you receive this type of call, hang up. DO NOT give any information to the caller.
Thank you
Chief Stephan H Semerjian
