IRS Scam - Don't Fall For It!
DON'T FALL FOR IT!! Friends in Eastland are still getting calls from the "IRS" trying to collect money. Folks, the IRS does not call you... they mail you with information regarding any taxes overdue or any legal action they are going to take. DO NOT send them any money. Some of the calls are coming from 323 area code and others from 469 area code.
And while we're at it... don't fall for the old "I've got some materials left over from another job" gimmick. This applies to paving jobs, roofing jobs, construction jobs, and just about anything else you can think of. There are people out there who spend their entire week trying to think of new ways to cheat you out of your hard-earned money! When in doubt, check with local authorities or your Better Business Bureau. Don't be embarrassed to HANG UP on callers who demand money from you. They're not embarrassed to cheat you or steal from you!
Please warn your friends and relatives about scams such as this. The more mature generation is especially vulnerable to scams because they were raised in a time when you could trust people. Don't let your parents or grandparents be the victim of a scam!
