SCAM ALERT!!!! Individuals are receiving calls stating they are from the IRS and telling them they have a warrant for their arrest and law enforcement will pick them up unless they send them money. The amounts they request to keep from being arrested varies. The caller has valid information about the individual they are calling. They will ask them to go to a store that has gift cards and purchase cards and send to a specific address. Those who are receiving these calls should not send any money because of a phone call.

THE IRS DOES NOT MAKE PHONE CALLS OR MAKE THREATS REGARDING WARRANTS. INDIVIDUALS SHOULD USE COMMON SENSE AND NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE WHO IS DEMANDING IT OVER THE TELEPHONE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY SAY.
