Nesquehoning officials warn residents of IRS scammers
Nesquehoning officials want area residents to know that the IRS is not really calling them.
On Wednesday, Mayor Sam Kitchko said that there have been reports of residents receiving phone calls from the IRS, which is a scam. The callers ask the person to purchase prepaid Visa gift cards at either Rite Aid or CVS and mail them to a certain address as payment.
