Scammers Posing as U.S. Treasury Agents

Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones reports that there is a new scam trend that is not just targeting the elderly population.  There have been several reports in the last few weeks where the suspect informs the victim by phone that they are calling for the Internal Revenue Service because the victim owes back taxes that need to be collected as soon as possible.  The amount the suspect tells the victim they owe is normally between 5 and 6 thousand dollars.  The scammer will agree to a compromise if the victim offers money.

Scamming is nothing new, but the way these criminals are handling the situation is.  “The last report we received, the victim told the suspect he could get him $3,000 of the $6,485.00 he was told he owed.  The suspect then told the victim that a United States Marshal would be at the residence shortly to collect the money.  About 45 minutes later an unknown male was on the victim’s porch flashing a badge and demanding the money,” said Lieutenant Langmeyer of Investigations.

The Sheriff is encouraging everyone to report suspicious activity, especially when demands of money are made or there are threats of incarceration.  “This is a much more brazen operation.  These criminals have a very well thought-out plan, and they are obviously not afraid to pretend like law enforcement.  I have plenty of room for them here in our jail where they belong,” said Sheriff Jones.
