The Batavia Police Department are investigating a scam that claims that they are the IRS using phone numbers that are from the City of Batavia. The scammers will call and say they are collecting funds for the IRS and they need to be put into an account within an hour to avoid arrest.

REMINDER: The IRS will NEVER call you to ask you for funds and they cannot threaten to send law enforcement if you don't pay. If you have any calls from a scam IRS caller, notify the IRS hotline at 800-366-4484
