Adams County residents should disregard mailings they may have recently received alleging they owe taxes. It’s a scam, according to county officials.
Anonymously mailed notices have been sent to residents with threats the state of Mississippi will confiscate bank-account funds, wages or social security benefits if the overdue taxes aren’t paid. They’re told to call a telephone number to resolve the unspecified tax debt within 15 days of receiving the notice.
Such claims of delinquent taxes owed are bogus, said Adams County Chancery Clerk Brandi Lewis and county Board of Supervisors attorney Scott Slover. They noted any overdue taxes locally are resolved through the Adams County Tax Collector’s office and the court system — not with mailings from unknown sources.
