IRS scam calls continue

Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Police informs residents that phony IRS calls that are again being reported in the area.

Lt. Robert Opp, says Jamestown area residents are receiving scam calls from individuals claiming to be with the Internal Revenue Services.

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says the caller claims the taxpayer has ignored previous messages and will be charged with fraud unless they talk with the scammer.

Stenehjem reminds residents that “These calls are not from the IRS. The scam artists just want to steal your money.” Stenehjem, suggests residents delete the message or hang up on calls.

Anyone receiving that type should call, local law enforcement, immediately. The IRS says they do not operate that way and to not distribute your personal information over the phone.
