Warn Against IRS Fraud Investigators of the In­ ternal Revenue Service, Security division, have brought to the attention of various law enforcement agencies that the instances of citizens being defrauded by persons claiming to be I.R.S. employees are in­ creasing. Victims have been contacted in person and by telephone by both male and female perpetrators. Examples of fraud per­ petrated by such im­ personators include: -- Contact to schedule an audit meeting at which a bogus "agent" without proper IRS identification attempts to extort money from an unsuspecting vic­ tim. -- Contact of bereaved widows or widowers by an IRS "collector" to arrange payment of the deceased's back taxes. - Contact by bogus "IRS Agent" to collect "delinquent taxes" on the spot, or to schedule a meeting to collect the "tax". Captain James Murphy of the Illinois state police, D-2 at Elgin, stated that the elderly are particularly susceptible to these fraud attempts. Additionally, persons may impersonate IRS employees to gain ac­ cess to homes to perpetrate robberies or personal at­ tacks, or to gain access to "Comedy Tonight" At Lakeside Center The Lakeside Players of Crystal Lake will offer "Comedy Tonight", a din- ner-theatre combination, Friday, Feb. 15 and Saturday, Feb. 16.
