IRS Scams Are On The Rise

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): State Police are reporting another IRS calling scam that's making its way to Indiana residents.

According to a press release, the scam is similar to past warnings on alleged government representatives who call to threaten immediate jailing for not cooperating.
