There are victims or potential victims of an IRS phone scam making the rounds in the Tulsa area. Justin Green with the Sheriff’s Office says investigators have received several calls recently from someone claiming to be from the IRS. They tell whoever answers they owe back taxes and must pay immediately or be arrested.
It’s a scam. Green says don’t fall for it. He says the IRS will never contact you and demand payment over the phone. If you receive one of these calls, you are asked to report it to the IRS.
