"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.

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.
I just got a call from these scammers. "James White" from Dept. of Legal Affairs from US Treasury said in heavy accent that someone had come to my home twice before but I was not there, so calling me to tell me they will have to file a legal complaint about IRS etc. and they will file some complaint against me.
