IRS Scam gets Victim for $6,000

A Tullahoma woman reported to Tullahoma Police that she was a victim of a scam.
The woman told Officer Tyler Walls on Sept. 23 that she received a phone call from an individual telling her that she owed $6,000 to the IRS in back taxes. The caller told the woman that she needed to send them 13 iTunes cards containing $500 each.
She then went and purchased the cards gave the caller information from the cards.
The woman told the officer that according to caller ID the call originated from a Washington D.C. number.
Police advised that the IRS does not call people and tell them that they owe the federal agency, they send a letter notifying of a debt. And they certainly do not tell people to purchase an iTune card.
