[ARCHIVED] Fraud

On March 19, 2015 at 3:18 PM Hampton Twp. Police received a phone call from a resident concerning a fraud complaint that she received on her voice mail. Upon calling the number back (309-232-8961) and asking for Jack Smides, the male requested information on her so they can conduct an IRS audit on her income taxes from 2008-2013 due to her returns and the IRS numbers not matching up. The resident stated that she then started to question this male, who did have a heavy foreign accent, but he hung up on her at that point. The resident was advised to contact her accountant who has filed her taxes this year and the past and advise him about the call. She was also advised to check all financial accounts and credit reports to make sure nothing has been compromised.
