Got 4 messages from a girl (Jenie >> couldn't make out the last time) with a strong Indian accent, basically stated the same thing as above. Called that number back, there was a male voice on the recorded line with an even stronger Indian accent stating no one was not available. Definitely a scam, otherwise, the staff of department of treasury might have been replaced by all the Indians... just saying.
"This message is intended to contact "my full name". Hi, this is David Melo with the Department of Legal Affairs at the U.S. Treasury, and I was trying to reach you in regards to a very important issue. The number to reach me is 323-786-9814. If for any reason you are busy to call back, I would suggest you to have your retain attorney to do it for you, as delay in calling us might end up into a legal mess for you. Until then, have a blessed day and God bless."
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 $60.00 or so.
I had two messages on 9-12-14 in Oregon. They said about the same thing as the above: Calling from Department of Legal Affairs, I had legal action against my name, to call or have an attorney and it was urgent and have a blessed day. Caller was male. Didn't understand first name. Seemed like it started with a G. Last name was Williams.
Same message. Thought he said David Miller, but perhaps David Melo as first poster mentioned. Wanted my lawyer's information. Hung up on him, he called back. Said a letter had been mailed two days previously. When asked for a number to call back, gave 323-786-9814, and said associate Erika Perkins has all the details.
