 Scams and Identity Theft are on the rise. Every day we hear of another data breach. With the 2015 tax season fast approaching, police warn of tax scams and increased calls from the 'IRS' that prey on the elderly and those whose first language is not English. These are threatening calls by scam artists using fake names and IRS badge numbers and phone numbers that appear to be from the IRS. The calls are high pressure indicating arrest, prosecution and jail time if immediate payment isn't made. Don't be fooled ~ this is a scam! See what State Police say to do if you receive one of these calls.
