"This is James Haddis, and I am with the department of legal affairs... This is a verbal notification for you, in regards to the enforcement action that has been started on your name. My number is 347-515-6003. If for any reason you are too busy to call back, I would suggest you to tell your retained attorney to do it for you, as delaying calling us might end up into a legal mess for you." Called back, no answer. Then "James" called back, and I demanded to know from what city or state his department of legal affairs he was calling from. "New York," he said. Voice sounded like "Ted Cruise," kind of a mid-western drawl with Bronx slurring, if you can imagine. This is way too similar to calls reported on your site, so I thought it should be reported.

Got a call from these guys. Said they were calling me about a legal action filed against my name. I told them to mail me their information and he said they did already ... TWICE! I hung up on them, it sounded like some sort of scam. I'm pretty sure I don't have any legal issues with anyone.
Called me to tell me that my taxes were deliquent and that I would be arrested today! He said an officer would arrive at my house within one to two hours. What is interesting is that he did not ask me for any personal information, so I am not sure what the scam is.
