North Stonington residents warned about IRS imposter scam
North Stonington — Residents should be aware about an ongoing phone scam involving individuals pretending to be from the Internal Revenue Service, state police said Tuesday.
The resident state trooper's office in town said state police have received several complaints from residents.
The scam, which has been ongoing throughout the region, involves imposters who call and request to collect unpaid taxes.
Police warn residents not to give any personal or financial information to the imposters. Residents are advised to immediately hang up the phone.
Police in Stonington and Groton issued similar warnings earlier this year.
Incidents can be reported to the treasury inspector general for tax administration or the FTC complaint assistant, http://bit.ly/1MSMus1.
