SIOUX FALLS (AP) - Sioux Falls authorities say a 38-year-old man has been scammed into wiring money to someone claiming to be from the IRS.
KELO-TV reports that the Sioux Falls man got a phone call from someone claiming to be with the revenue service. He was told he would be arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service if he didn't wire $8,000 to the account number provided.
The man believed it was a legitimate phone call because the scammer discussed his job history.
Sioux Falls police spokesman Sam Clemens says the IRS sends letters rather than making phone calls.
