Scam Alert from Chief Jim Bodine!

Scam Alert from Chief Jim Bodine!

by John Vogt - August 29, 2015

SCAM ALERT: FROM POLICE CHIEF JIM BODINE.

The IRS SCAM is back and hitting our area hard. Many of our residents have fallen prey to the IRS SCAM. People have lost thousands of dollars by wire which our citizens can never get back.

THE WAY THIS SCAM WORKS: They call and tell you that you are behind on your taxes and unless you send in the money IRS agents will be sent to arrest you. They may also tell you that unless you send in your back taxes immediately you will be subject to additional fines and penalties. The scammers have a number of lines that they use to convince you. They have been able to deceive numbers of people in our area. Those who do these scams make it sound very official. Don’t fall victim yourself – HANG UP! Do not talk to them or give any personal information to these people.
