IRS scam targets Manassas teen

From the Manassas City Police blotter: 

Attempted Fraud

On March 10, 2016, Manassas City Police met with a resident for a report of an attempted fraud. The reporting party, a 19-year-old female, told officers that she received a phone call from a man who claimed to represent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The caller demanded that the resident send over $1,000 by wire transfer for debt he claimed she owed, and insisted she would be arrested if she did not comply. After consulting a family member, the victim recognized the call as a scam and called Police.

Larceny

On March 10, 2016, Manassas City Police responded to Battlefield Ford (8980 Mathis Ave) for a report of a larceny. The reporting party told officers that sometime between March 3 and 10, someone stole two faded pink “Go-Jacks” (valued at $350 each) off one of the company’s newly purchased trucks. The truck was parked across from the business on Mathis Ave at the time of the theft.

Larceny

The victim then discovered that two of his credit cards were missing from his wallet.

Vandalism to Auto

On March 9, 2016, Manassas City Police responded to Nathan’s Ice Cream (8948 Mathis Ave) for a report of a vandalism. The reporting party told officers that the company’s RV, which was kept parked behind the store, had been scratched. Damages were estimated at $3,000.
