THE ''IRS SCAM'' IS ACTIVE IN THE FAIRWAYS


IN RECENT DAYS SEVERAL RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN CALLED BY THE ''IRS SCAMMERS''
The scenarios, reported---goes like this---A ''robo'',recorded phone call comes in with area codes from Chicago--Washington Dc---and Washington state!
  The callers can be either male or female.The callers, unlike previous scam calls--speak perfect English, with no dialect whatsoever.
 The caller makes a similar following statement----YOU ARE BEING PROSECUTED BY THE IRS!---TO STOP AND AVOID PUNISHMENT,--YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CALL THIS NUMBER---312-******** !
 WHAT EVER YOU DO --DO NOT CALL ANY NUMBER GIVEN!!!
 The IRS never calls residents by phone. The IRS only contacts people by US Mail!
There has been some suspicions by residents that some of the scammers, may have access to a Fairways phone book.
Even a return phone call to the requested number may be damaging---REPEAT-- DO NOT OBEY THE RECORDING--IT IS NOTHING BUT A DANGEROUS HOAX!
 Some would be comforted to call their accountant or tax preparer--that is fine--they will give the same advice---DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS TYPE OF COMMUNICATION!
  Some tax accountants ,report that some of our residents, have been terrified by this hoax.
 Any resident that has received a similar call may post the details here anonymously.

Never answer #s I don't recognize. If its important they can leave message and if necessary I can call them back.

Just was out and saw that our exit gate is on the ground. Someone apparently hit the pole attached to the gate with their vehicle. Sure is happening frequently in our community. Mickey
