SCAM ALERT!

IRS WILL NEVER CALL YOU!

There is a new scam 

in our southern New Hampshire area

A Hillsborough resident was contacted recently by phone by somebody claiming to represent the US Government Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The caller insisted that our resident owed over $3000 in back taxes and has instituted a legal proceeding against her. Our resident was harassed to call a phone number where she would provide information that would enable the 'IRS' to withdraw money from her account and thereby avoid the legal proceeding. She knew that she did not owe money to anybody. Instead she called the police, who informed her that this is a scam.

THIS IS A  SCAM. IRS NEVER CALLS YOU. IF SOMEBODY CALLS YOU CLAIMING TO REPRESENT THE IRS, THEY DON'T. THEY ARE LYING.

NEVER PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR BANK ACCOUNT TO ANYBODY WHO YOU DO NOT KNOW PERSONALLY.
