It just doesn’t
work that way, the PCSO said. “As a reminder, the IRS (or the U.S. Treasury
Department) will not call you demanding money from you, will not threaten
you with a warrant, and will not threaten to arrest you at your place of
employment.”
If contacted by a
person impersonating an IRS agent, do not give him or her any personal,
confidential, or financial information. Hang up and report the call to your
local law enforcement agency.
“Please be alert
and be vigilant, especially with your elderly, who often fall victim to
these types of scams,” the PCSO said.
