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. Capt. Hugh S. McGinley, commander of District 15 State police, stated that 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 agents" to collect "delinquent taxes" on the spot, or to schedule a meeting to collect the "tax". Capt. McGinley also stated that the elderly are par­ ticularly susceptible to these fraud attempts. Ad­ ditionally, persons may impersonate IRS employees to gain access to homes to perpetrate robberies or personal attacks or to gain access to confidential in­ formation.
