The Daviess County Sheriff’s Department is warning of an IRS scam.

The department says they received several complaints Monday where both males and females have called local residents claiming to be an IRS agent in Washington, DC or Everett Washington.

The caller will tell you that you owe money and if you don’t pay they have units in the area that will come to your home and arrest you.

The Sheriff’s Department says contacts have been made with several “said employees” with the alleged company who admitted to a deputy that they are scammers.  You’re advised not to give out any information to the callers.

If you get a call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and you know or think you owe taxes call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
