Who called from 2816168772

Says he's looking for Todd Jones who we don't have in our office. DEFINITELY NOT FROM THE IRS.

I did not answer the phone.  The message said he was John White with the IRS and left the phone number 281-616-8772 to call back. I didn't call back.

Hi my parents got a voicemail saying a warrant was out for them and that if we didn't call there number.  They would have to take this to court.  But the person sounded either British or Austrilian and you could here conversations in the background. So I don't know if it's fake or not??

Look below also to CWG40's post. It is a scam! The IRS does not call you if there is a problem....

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
