Dartmouth police warn public about IRS phone scam

The Dartmouth Police Department is warning the public about an IRS phone scam:

“We have received numerous complaints on November 20th reporting that the good ole IRS scambags are once again blowing up the phone lines with their “You’re going to go to jail if you don’t pay us “X” amount of dollars” hogwash.

In light of this, we are making a few recommendations on how to deal with them:

1) Simply hang up
2) Keep a whistle or airhorn near the phone and blast it in their ear at an opportune time.
3) Pretend that you are really concerned, and keep them on the line until their pea sized brain finally figures out that you are actually messing with them.”
