Officials Warn About IRS Scam

(Salem, OR)  --  Oregon state officials are warning residents about an IRS-related scam.  The state Department of Justice says intended victims receive phone calls from someone claiming to be with the IRS, threatening property seizure unless the target sends money owed to the tax agency.  The Justice Department told KOIN-TV that victims of the scam in Oregon have lost more than 77-thousand-dollars.  Officials say if you have tax issues, the IRS will contact you exclusively by mail and will not ask you to wire money or send it via pre-paid debit card.
