Officials with the Harlan Police Department and the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office say they have received numerous calls from citizens regarding phone calls claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service. A caller will tell you that money is owed to the IRS and that you can be arrested if the call is not returned and/or money sent. Authorities warn “These are scam calls. The IRS will NEVER contact anyone by phone regarding their tax status.  Ignore these calls. Do not call them back or give out any personal information. If a voicemail has been left with you, simply delete the message.”
