My story is the same as all above. I asked for a file reference number and the distant Indian accented voice said that she did not have such a number. I suspected scam and called the number 213-375-0942 and got the same voice mail for David Williams as noted above. I'm not bothering to call again, but will be telling my family to watch for this.
We got a call from us treasury dept of legal affairs at 6:30 pm from a women with a heavy Indian accent. Sh e told me to call her supervisor at 213-375-0942 David Williams. What govt agency works past 4 pm? What supervisor would want his clerk to tell people to call them. If legal department wanted to reach us they would send a registered letter to document correspondence or sent the sheriff with a warrant. Don't fall for this scam.
4/8/2014 freaking con artists.
This guy just called my mom threatening to have her arrested if she doesn't pay back taxes from 2008 in the amount of $1400. He said she could use the prepaid debit card she just purchased last week.......... RED FLAG!!! She didn't give him a dime, but the idea of getting arrested for the first time had her hysterical!!!
This number called us at just before 7:00 a.m. Pacific time. Same general theme as the other calls in this string. I hung up on him no less than 4 times - he kept calling back and then finally left a message much the same. I am blocking this number from our home phone.
Received request on 10 April 2014 that I call this number (213-375-0942) to resolve "an important legal matter". Caller said their name was John Wright ? From the Department of Legal Services at the US Treasury. Hard to understand due to heavy accent (Indian or African ?) but the person said I was being "formally notified of legal actions that have been started" on my name and recommended that I should "have my retained attorney call to deal with the action being taken" against me. At the end of the call they said "I look forward to speaking with you, and to that, good-bye and have a great day !" And the strangest thing is that this call was made to a family member's phone, listed under their name, and not to any of the numbers connected to my name.
