As the April 15 tax deadline approaches, scam calls are ramping up — and they’re often targeting our parents and grandparents.

The call may sound urgent:
📞 “You owe back taxes.”
📞 “There’s a warrant for your arrest.”
📞 “Pay now with gift cards or crypto.”

It’s designed to scare people into acting fast.

Here’s what East Lansdowne residents should know:
❌ The IRS does NOT call unexpectedly demanding payment.
❌ They do NOT threaten arrest over the phone.
❌ They do NOT request payment by gift cards, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency.
✅ When in doubt, hang up and go directly to https://zurl.co/fUOiK to verify.

Take 2 minutes today to check in with an older family member. A simple conversation can stop a scam before it starts.
