TAX SEASON SCAM

Note to Citizens – During this time of year, Tax Season, many residents report receiving calls from individuals claiming to be employees of the IRS. The callers claim the resident has either committed tax fraud or had improperly filed previous tax returns. The caller informs the resident to send a Western Union payment or purchase a prepaid debit card, for payment, or the resident will be arrested. This type of call is a scam. Never send a payment unless you have verified the validity of the caller.

Note to Citizens: Please remove all valuables from an unattended vehicle and most importantly, lock the vehicle doors.
