The person calling from this number had poor English and stated that she was calling from the U.S. Department of Treasury because there was an enforcement action against my husband and I. The caller ID was 206-497-1628 (which is not a Treasury number) and it was a Saturday, when the federal government is closed. When I asked for details, the person had none. When I stated that I was an attorney and could easily look up to see if something had been filed against me, she stated "it has been filed against you, you have not responded." I told her I would've had to have been served with the complaint if there was an action against me and that I hadn't been served. I also asked her: "what court is the enforcement action filed in?" She had no answer to any of these questions. She stated, "call this number - he will tell you details of what you owe and what the enforcement action is." Total scam.
I have been bothered by these folks from 3 different phone numbers. some of the same folks (accents appear to be Asian as they pronounce certain letters incorrectly and they show that they don't understand US idioms). The numbers are 213-928-2652, 215-734-0221 and 206-497-1628. I screen my phone calls and the last number had the call id of "RichmndBch WA". The "Steve Mattin" at the 3rd number said that they were calling from the Department of Legal Affairs for the Department of Treasury and that I have a "bad taxes" and the police have a warrant to arrest me if I don't pay. I asked for a supervisor and he said that that would not help, that I needed to pay. No specific amounts were quoted. I told them that I knew that they were a scam and to not call my house again or else i will file a lawsuit against them. They did not have my name so they could not tell me anything about why or who they were calling. I told that I knew where they were calling from and that I would write another complaint to an actual federal government agency called the Federal Trade Commission. Do we have any further recourse with these folks? Obviously they have been trolling around for a while!
Just got the same message this morning 9/20/14 on a Saturday. Thanks to everyone for comments. it was so easy to find you all by goggleing the telephone # 2064971628. A super weekend to all:)
