Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 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.
Man with foreign accent says his name is Jonathon Night, that he's calling from the Federal Investigation Dept. of the IRS, Badge #06719, that our taxes have been audited & the IRS has found that there was a "fraud & misconduct on your taxes which you are hiding from the federal government & needs to be rectified immediately"! He then goes on to say that we need to accept his phone call now that we've received this message (we let the answering machine pick this call up when we didn't recognize the 302-966-9241 phone #), he again left his name/company, then hung up. I called our local Spokane Crime Check & was told they've had numerous calls from folks who've received this same phone call... they advised me that this is a telephone scam & to completely disregard the phone call altogether. I just hope the police or the IRS or someone is seriously looking into this issue!!
claims to be in IRS agent Jonathan Knightclaims I had a fraudulent claim on my income tax very heavy Indian accent phone number is 3029669241, asked to paid money right away and by his instruction, otherwise issue a warrant and police department will come to arrest me, very scare!! I did followed his instruction step by step, but not the last one to go to a local pharmacy until I reach to the police department and reported the incident, please do not believe what ever you get from this number.
This also just happened to us. My mom was scared that something was happening I called a few times then looked on Google. I hope this ends soon.

The matter at a hand is extremely time, sensitive and urgent, as after audit, we found that there was a fraud and misconduct on your tax, which you are hiding from the federal government. So this needs to be rectified immediately. So do return the call as soon as you receive the message. Again this is Jonathan Knight from the IRS."
