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.
There was a news report on our local stations in Boise that people in the Boise area had been receiving these scam calls from people who say they are from the IRS about a past taxes that you owe the IRS. The IRS does not call people advising them they will be arrested if they do not make payment to them. Do not fall this scam. You will lose you money if you fall for these criminals scam
Message call from Longview,WA. claimed I needed to call IRS at 360-200-4675. I called and was told I had a warrant out for my arrest for income tax fraud. I requested callers I.D and name. Replied as special agent Austin Reed. I asked for
specifics on such a charge...what was the fraud? He stated form 1048. I ased if he meant 1040. Was told not to interrupt
him and to go to and turn myself into the nearest police station. He hung up..

Called back and Austin Reed said he was with the IRS and I had a warrant for my arrest for fraud on my taxes but wouldn't give me any information. He then said he is faxing the arrest warrant to the police station and hung up on me. Scam!!!!
