We have been receiving calls reporting telephone calls with people asking for personal information, bank account information and needing to send money to relatives.

Calls have been received from:

• Publisher’s Clearing House

• the IRS

• People claiming to be calling for a Magistrate or a Grand Jury regarding a Federal Criminal Offense

• People requesting a money order number so they can give you vehicles that they claim you have won

• Calling from a Montana business, such as a florist shop from another town

• Calling about a Caribbean cruise.

These phone calls are scams, if it seems suspicious DO NOT GIVE any information to the caller. Ask for a call back phone number and call them back to see if it is who they are claiming to be.

The IRS and the Federal Justice System do not contact people via telephone.

Always remember the key things regarding scams:

1. If you didn't enter, you didn't win

2. If you have a lawsuit or other legal issues pending you will get notification via certified mail or served to you by an official, whether it is a law enforcement officer or a civil process server
