(KNZA)--Scam artists are using fear, and the name of the IRS, in an attempt to gain personal, financial information.
That message comes in the form of a news release issued by Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse.
Morse, in the release, says he has received complaints from residents who say they have been receiving phone calls from someone representing themselves as an IRS agent.
The phone number showing on caller ID falsely indicates that the call has been made by the IRS.
According to Morse, the caller demands immediate payment of uncollected taxes, and may threaten to have the would-be victim arrested if they don't pay.
Morse says the IRS will never place such phone calls, adding that no personal information should ever be provided if such a call is received.
