CHICAGO, IL – (Scott Bertram, Illinois News Network. Please click on the link for the full story. Here is an excerpt below.)
The Better Business Bureau is warning of a recent spike in phone scam attempts across Illinois.
Steve Bernas, president and CEO of Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois, says this is a long-running operation in which people pose as IRS agents and demand immediate payment.
“Normally, people will wise up and not send money,” Bernas said. “That’s how scams go out of business. But this one has taken on a life of its own and keeps growing.”
A clear sign of a scam call is the request for money sent in a short amount of time.
