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.

Received message in voicemail from "IRS police" (heavy New Zealand accent) stating that an arrest warrant has been issued and my property is "under Federal investigation".  The most entertaining aspect of this message was that it did not state whom said message was for.  Better yet, IRS is a private entity and does NOT have a "police" division.  Incidentally, should the IRS need to contact you, it will be conducted via US Mail.  I called back and confronted the foreign asshat.  He promptly hung up.  I then spent the next 45 minutes calling him back repeatedly and harassing him.  I have now been successfully blocked from calling the aforementioned number.
