The Fond du Lac Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a phone scam that has been reported recently.  The Sheriff’s Office says it has recently taken several reports of telephone scams targeting elderly residents in Fond du Lac County.   This scam involves a caller who reports to be a representative of the IRS demanding payment.   Sheriff’s lieutenant Cameron McGee says its important to remember that no representative from the IRS will call you.  All correspondence from the IRS is in writing on official letterhead with specific identifiers.    The Sheriff’s Office is asking residents to inform any elderly family members or neighbors about this scam and stress to them they should not send any money without notifying a family member or neighbor first.
