Someone with an accent says he is Jack Marshall from the IRS. You have a problem with a past income tax statement, you did not reply to their letter, and this is your last chance to settle. After refusing, they said they would fax a letter to my local police department and gave me a name. Ten minutes later a phone call from "emergency contact" on my phone says he is the local police (by the same name) and they received a fax from the IRS.
THIS IS A HOAX. It sounds very legitimate and real. Local police have been getting many call about this.
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:

•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.

Do consider maybe 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.
