June 23, 2017 – Washington Co., WI – The IRS fraud phone calls are hitting Washington County again.
The phone number they’re calling from is a 209-297-2847.
The conversation basically goes something like, “You have to call in 24 hours or the local cops will be coming to get you.”
The Washington County Sheriff says there’s nothing they can do and just disregard the calls.

I’ve gotten this call already and more than once! Plus there is another scam also from a Citi Bank also says you owe them money and that if you don’t pay the cops will be at your residence to pick you up. They are pretty slick cause they know a lot about you except your FULL SS# and your current last name, or at least they didn’t know MY current last name. But they ask you to VERIFY everything about yourself…in which I did NOT. Cause If they knew me at the bank they would already WOULD know all of that. Plus I had never banked at that facility before, SO be aware.
Please add Corpus Christi Texas to this list! It just happened to me and the scariest part is that they had addresses, phone numbers, names of my kids etc….be safe people!
