Tax Scams in Our Area
Posted on by Paul McDaniel

I recently sat down with Crime Prevention Specialist, Andrew Gluba of the Albemarle County Police Dept to discuss some disturbing trends they’ve seen already this tax season, what they’re looking for and what you should be looking for as you get ready to file your taxes. Phone, email and identity theft scams are very real in our area.

For more information on scams and other general info about your taxes you can visit irs.gov. The local police departments are also encouraging you to call them if you get any of these threatening phone calls or emails.

Here are the generic numbers for the local police and their websites:

Albemarle County Police Dept website and phone 434–977-9041.

Charlottesville City Police Dept website and phone 434-970-3280.

Greene County Police Dept website and phone  434-985-2222.

Fluvanna County Police Dept website and phone 434-589-8211.

Louisa County Police Dept website and phone 540- 967-1234.

Buckingham Police Dept website and phone 434- 969-1772.
