IRS scam reported in Hubbard

HUBBARD — A city resident told police Wednesday she received a call from a man claiming she owed money to the IRS.

The man gave a number to call back. Police called the number, warned the man they know he's a fraud and not to call anyone else.

The IRS does not ever call anyone; they contact people by mail, and the phone number has been reported to the state attorney general's office, a police report says.
