8:55 a.m. Male reported an IRS scam.

We have been receiving calls reporting telephone calls with people asking for personal information, bank account information and needing to send money to relatives. These phone calls are scams, if it seems suspicious DO NOT GIVE any information to the call. Ask for a call back phone number and call them back to see if it is who they are claiming to be.

Another form of a phone scam is individuals claiming to be from the IRS. The IRS does not contact people via telephone. This is a scam.
