SOME RESIDENTS OF THE BOROUGH, AS WELL AS RESIDENTS OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, HAVE BEEN RECEIVING TELEPHONE CALLS FROM INDIVIDUALS CLAIMING TO BE AGENTS OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. THESE CALLERS ARE DEMANDING PAYMENT FOR ALLEDGEDLY OVERDUE TAXES.
IN MOST CASES, THE CALLER WILL DEMAND THAT PAYMENT BE MADE THROUGH THE USE OF GREENDOT MONEY PACK CARDS OR SIMILAR PREPAID CREDIT CARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE GIVEN ON HOW TO PURCHASE THE CARDS AND WHO TO CONTACT TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS.
THESE CALLS ARE PART OF A NATIONWIDE ON-GOING TELEPHONE SCAM. THE CALLERS MAY STATE THAT THE LOCAL POLICE OR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ARE ON THE WAY TO ARREST THE CALLER IF THEY DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE PAYMENT DEMANDS IMMEDIATELY. BE AWARE THAT LOCAL, COUNTY AND STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS DO NOT HAVE ANY INVOLVEMENT WITH ENFORCEMENT ISSUES RELATED TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. EVEN THOUGH THE CALLER MAY HAVE SOME TYPE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, RESIDENTS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE IRS WILL NOT MAKE ANY TYPE OF TELEPHONE CALL, LIVE OR RECORDED, OR SEND AN E-MAIL TO ANYONE RELATIVE TO TAX ISSUES.  INITIAL CONTACT BY THE IRS IS MADE BY REGULAR MAIL, NOT BY TELEPHONE OR E-MAIL. 
IF YOU RECEIVE A CALL FROM AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMING TO BE FROM THE IRS, DEMANDING IMMEDIATE PAYMENT OVER THE PHONE, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT THE TREASURY INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR TAX ADMINISTRATION AT 1-800-366-4484.
