Police Warn of IRS Phone Scam in Moorestown

Moorestown Police are warning residents of a phone scam in which the person calling portrays themselves as being with the IRS.

Many residents have reported receiving calls in which the scammers claim they are from the IRS and are collecting money, police said Thursday afternoon. They are attempting to get personal information for future fraud.

“Note that the IRS never makes contact with people in this manner,” police said. “Never give your personal identifiers or send money to one of these callers.”

Residents who receive these types of calls are advised to report these scam calls online at the Police website www.moorestownpd.com., via the “Police Online Reporting” tab.
