I received a voicemail twice from this phone number with this same threat information. I'm glad to hear that this is just a scam and I'm glad that I did not call them back. Thanks for the heads up.

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.
I just got the same message from John White, and when I called a person with an Indian accent picked up the phone. They even went as far as telling me that I was under surveillance by homeland security. When I confronted them they ended the call.
