THE INFAMOUS '' IRS SCAM '', COMES TO THE FAIRWAYS!

Sometime back ,we published a reprint from a local TV station, regarding a IRS WEB SCAM. We now have a similar type scam ,reported on our phones, in the Fairways.
  On the morning of October 20 Fairways Watch received a call from a long time resident , detailing the following event. 
  The residents phone rang, with a unidentified name , but a Washington DC area code. An unidentified male with a foreign accent immediately came on the phone and identified himself as an IRS agent. The caller knew the residents first and last names.The ''AGENT'' went on to DEMAND'' payment of some supposedly unpaid taxes.The caller did this in such a very ''unnerving'' way, that it startled the resident. The caller went on to give demands as to how to send a large sum of money, in smaller amounts on ''green pack'' cards.  If the resident failed to comply,---THEY WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED AND TAKEN TO JAIL ! 
  Thankfully the resident realized that something was afoul  and ended the call. The resident called the sheriff,s office, and was told to call the IRS. The resident called the IRS as directed,--THE IRS REFUSED TO TALK TO THE TROUBLED RESIDENT!
 [Could it  be that the IRS was busy looking for some of their lost E mails] 
Fairways Watch has received numerous reports from Fairways residents, complaining about their names, phone numbers, and addresses , being given out to various organizations and sales companies.--THERE IS A SUSPICION THAT THE PHONE BOOK COMPANY IS SELLING COPIES OF FAIRWAYS RESIDENT INFORMATION!----true or false?
  Here are some tips for handling a suspected scam call.-----If you receive an unidentified call,FROM A CALLER WITH A FOREIGN ACCENT,--wanting to discuss monetary matters--REJECT THE CALL AND HANG UP!--Some will say---''oh ,that is politically incorrect''--- yep--- it may be---too bad!-----NEVER ---NEVER GIVE ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO AN UNKNOWN VOICE ON THE PHONE!
  Remember this---banks,and the IRS use the US mail to contact individuals when there is a question or problem regarding an account.---They do not Email or call by phone for information.
