New Bedford Police Department warns residents of ongoing IRS phone scams

New Bedford Police would like to remind all especially its elderly residents of potential IRS scams. Please take note that the IRS will not call you via telephone to inform you that you owe them money. An official notice will be mailed to your residence or place of business. At which point you can have your accountant, attorney, or family member review. We encourage you to hang up the phone and not share any of your personal information with whoever is calling you. We also encourage you to call the police at anyone of our four stations if you are not sure or need further assistance.
