Stallion Springs citizens continue to report “Demand for Payment” phone scams from
unknown subjects. In these scams subjects posing as IRS agents or U.S. Marshalls state that
the victim owes the government money for a variety of reasons and if not paid immediately,
they will be responding to the victim’s house with an arrest warrant. The SSPD advises its
citizens to ignore these types of telephone calls, inform your phone company, and report
these incidents via email at: www.mysscsd.com (police page).
