IRS Scammers - iPhone Number Blocking
What you can do to fight back under the current rules of engagement are: The first thing recommended is to not answer unidentified callers. First of all you don't have to deal with talking to one of these crooks. Con men of the current day are just as slick as those of yesteryear. Secondly most phones record information you might wish to report. iPhones and probably others now convert voice messages to written text.
Once you get one of these contacts it is highly recommended you don't call them back and talk to them, or open up any Links within the text. After reporting the crooks to the appropriate entities, block the number. Then delete the messages. Make complaints. Provide the number that called you, the contact info you are suppose to call back to, or Email back to, and screen copies of the text info you received.
1. Open "RECENTS" Call list
4. Tap "BLOCK THIS CALLER"
This will put that telephone number in the "Recents" Call list.
4. Open "RECENTS" Call list
7. Tap "BLOCK THIS CALLER"
The old way of blocking a SMS Text message sender no long works where you used to be able to tap (Circle i) and select BLOCK. Now the only option available from that screen is "DO NOT DISTURB". Using DND is not the same. It does not block, only does not produce an audible notification of a text message. The message still comes through. So use the process listed above to Block Text numbers.
