The Chillicothe Police Department kept busy over the weekend, and are informing the public about an IRS scam that is hitting the area.

A person is calling residents claiming to work for the IRS or U.S. Treasury and claiming there is a problem with your taxes or unpaid taxes.  They then threaten to call the police and have them arrest you if you don’t provide them with the information they want.  One possible phone number being used is 301-969-2307 but the number can be “spoofed” from anywhere.  The department urges residents not give them your information and to simply hang up.  The IRS does not call residents and threaten them with phone calls.
