West Haven Police warn about IRS scam calls

WEST HAVEN >> Police say they have received numerous complaints from local residents about collection telephone calls from scammers purporting to be from the Internal Revenue Service. Police said the scam has been traced to facilities that are out of state and sometimes out of the country. “If you receive one of these calls explaining you owe money and must pay, just disconnect,” police said. “Never give any credit card information, banking information or personal information to anyone you are not 100 percent sure of. The IRS does not operate using phone service; you would be notified via registered postal mail for their inquiries.” read more: http://www.nhregister.com/general-news/20141217/west-haven-police-warn-about-irs-scam-calls
