Please see the message below from York County Sheriff William L. King:
Kittery Detective Ray Hazen received a report of an "IRS" scam call from 202-864-1377. The strange thing about this scam call is that the intended target's caller ID showed the call came from the “York County Sheriffs”.
The accented caller told the resident that he owed a significant amount of money to the IRS that need to be paid today or a York County Deputy would be sent to arrest him within an hour.
The scammer told the intended target to call the number and ask for Officer Shawn Woods of the IRS. The target was a bit thrown off by the caller ID.
Detective Hazen called the number and they answered on the first ring, "IRS."
Please spread the word about this latest scam, using the sheriff's office as a ruse.
