Scam Alert

Evansville Police want to warn tri-state residents of a phone scam that is increasing in intensity throughout our community. You may get a call from someone claiming to be with the Internal Revenue Service and telling you that the I.R.S. is filing a lawsuit against you. A number to call is provided and upon calling they seek personal information and may demand money be sent to settle the “law suit.” The I.R.S. does not call by phone and threaten law suits or ask for your Social Security Number and other personal information. Further information on this is available at:
