As always, be on the lookout for scams.
Just got a phone call from “IRS” threatening to “take under custody” if “issues are not resolved in next 24 hours.” The phone number was (607)595-2142. We are definitely NOT encouraging prank calls to them, because that’s telephone harassment, just want you to know its a scam
