"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.
Answering machine message left for me, didn't include my last name. "This is James white from department of legal affairs calling in regard to a reported issue. This is a verbal notification regarding law enforcement taxes. Please call 213-437-6845. Have your retain lawyer call." Something to that effect. The guy had a thick accent-- possibly Indian? I'm not sure

DEPARTMENT OF LEGAL AFFAIRS PHONE SCAM ALERT! I JUST RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM THESE SCUM BAGS. THEY PREY ON GULLIBLE PEOPLE AND THE ELDERLY. GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THIS:---> IRS warns Hoosiers of phone scam. <--- Don't worry, they will just change it and use a different number in a few days. Below is the message I received. “This message is intended to contact xxxx. Hello, this is James Harris with the Department of Legal Affairs, and I was trying to reach you in regards to a very important issue. The number to reach me is 213-928-2101. If for any reason you are busy to call back, I would suggest you to have your retain attorney to do it for you, as delay in calling us might end up into a legal mess for you. Until then, have a blessed day.”
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.
