IRS SCAM

On Wednesday, October 01, 2014, an Ogallala citizen received a message left on his answering machine from 855 296-6897, from a male with an East Indian accent claiming to be from the IRS, and the male subject claimed that the citizen was going to be named in a law suit and was going to have all his assets frozen and may be subject to arrest by the IRS if he did not call the phone number back immediately and make arrangements to have the matter resolved. The Ogallala citizen recognized this as a scam and reported it to the Police Department. An internet search of the phone number revealed that there have been numerous complaints about telephone calls from the same number and of the same type of incident.

We have also received several other reports using the number of 254-300-5630 and the call back number of 202-747-2151.
