Beware of TELEPHONE SCAM targeting senior citizens, saying they are the IRS; you owe them money, and will be arrested if you don't comply.
Several residents have reported they have been called by an out of state number and the caller states they are the IRS, the resident owes them money and if they do not pay, they will be arrested. They are directed to a Wal-Mart to utilize Western Union to wire the funds. So far, no one has reported sending any money and this is a total scam. The IRS will never telephone you or email you, they will notify you by mail. NEVER send anyone money via Western Union if contacted. Call your local police department if you have any questions. This is one of many different SCAMS out there designed to steal your money.
