The same scams are making their way around again. We have heard about the IRS and Social Security so far. Both of which will threaten you with an arrest warrant issued if you do not cooperate. This is a scam. Sometime their number will even show up as a local number for either the Sheriff's Office or even the Police Department. Rest a sure it is a scam. If a warrant was issued for you the men in blue or brown would come knocking. IRS and Social Security will never call and asked for your information, so please do not give it out to anyone by phone unless you called them directly. Have a safe and great weekend.
