It appears the scam artists are at it again. The Mullica Township Police Department has gotten several reports of residents receiving phone calls purportedly from the IRS...THIS IS A SCAM!
*************SCAM ALERT******************
Please be advised, the Mullica Township Police Department has received several reports of residents receiving phone calls from the Internal Revenue Service. The caller demands an immediate payment on "delinquent taxes". The majority of these calls are a scam. If you believe you really do have tax issue with the IRS we suggest you call them directly.
You receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS but you suspect they are not an IRS employee ...
1.Record the employee's name, badge number, call back number and caller ID if available.
2.Call 1-800-366-4484 to determine if the caller is an IRS employee with a legitimate need to contact you. •If the person calling you is an IRS employee, call them back.
•If not, report the incident to TIGTA and to us at phishing@irs.gov (Subject: 'IRS Phone Scam'
