Same here. I could barely understand him but laughed out loud when he said he was with the Treasury Department. Riiiight. The Treasury Department is calling me from some random, non-government affiliated number in California. Seriously, worst phone scammer ever.
I got the same call just now from 510-629-3903 exactly like everyone else has posted here. I asked a lot of questions, "Why wouldn't the government send this in writing by mail instead of calling?" "Oh, we mailed you something and you weren't home," he replied. I asked him to give me specifics on the 'legal action' but he wouldn't and said it's just his job to notify people! Oh please!
I didn't tell him that my son who he was calling hasn't lived at this address for 10 years (and I'm sure the government from income taxes has much more current records than that.)
I do appreciate this blog though because it confirmed that this is a scam - so no one gets pulled in. I don't want these idiots preying on senior citizens or people who don't have ways of knowing that IT IS NOT REAL. Si there someone else we should report it to?
By the way, the H. Jass name is hilarious - good one!
I got a call from this number and it is a scam. A man with an accent calling himself Brian King with the US Treasury, Office of Legal Affairs. He was trying to get my current address from me but I told him I was
Going to report him for fraud.
Just spoke to 'Jacob Bryant' from the U.S. Treasury Dept. of Legal Affairs calling from 209-565-6426 for our daughter. He also had an accent and stated that It was about a "legal emergency enforcement action on her name." On an earlier phone message he stated that she'd better 'get an attorney because if you delay calling , it might end up into a legal mess for you.' These statements were less than professional, so I googled "Dept of Legal Affairs" and found many websites including Consumer Affairs of the US Treasury and FOX59 news report that included this same scripted dialogue. They warn people that this is a Total SCAM!
