The North Brunswick Police again warns residents of popular "IRS Scam"...
We have received multiple calls recently about the "IRS scam" that circulates regularly. Multiple residents have received calls from a person posing as a IRS representative, telling the resident that they are in trouble with the IRS, and face legal action. The caller asks for a sum of money to be sent or wired to them, in order to clear up this "debt". In some cases, the phone number listed on caller ID reflects the residents own phone number.
Please do not fall victim to this scam. We remind our residents to not provide any personal information via phone, and NEVER send any money to an unknown or untrusted source. Please relay and explain this to any elderly neighbors or family members that may not be internet savvy, as they are the most targeted potential victims. Please see the following link for advice from the IRS:
