Sheriff Warns of Scam IRS Calls
Sheriff Mitch Ralston warns Gordon County residents to beware of scammers posing as employees/agents of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)Â demanding money or financial information, and threatening people with arrest warrants. Such calls are fraudulent, and usually originate outside the country. Sheriff Ralston warns people to NEVER send money or financial information to questionable destinations, and NEVER provide financial or personal details to anyone by telephone unless you are absolutely sure of their identity. These scammers prey particularly on the elderly and other vulnerable persons. The sheriff urges all citizens to share this information with friends and family, and on social media.
