Police warn of "IRS" scam
JANUARY 12, 2018
The police department has received another report of the “IRS” calling people and telling them that they need to pay the “IRS” or they will come pick them up. Please do not allow yourself to become a victim of these scams. Most of them will tell you to get a gift card of some type and give them the number on the card. One of the numbers that they have called from is 360-209-8910. We attempted to contact this number several times and only got a busy signal.
