This is a scam!!!!!! I ran into the same thing 6 months ago. Always a call center with someone with a foreign accent. They say a lawsuit has been filed against you. They say they are with a the Investigations area. They ask you to confirm the last 4 digits of your social which they have and try to use this to prove to you that they are legit. THEY ARE NOT. THIS IS SCAM DO NOT LET THEM SCARE YOU.
A key way to figure this out is:
1. ask for their supervisor - they will conveniently put you on hold and hang up on you and then someone else will call you back saying they are the manager.
2. tell them they are a scam - they will then cuss and swear at you. Any legit legal or police or even the FBI would never ever say "F___ You" on the phone multiple times. They would be fired for doing so.
All in all - it is scam.
Tell them you are reporting them to the police, the FBI and the Secret Service and make sure you do so.
They are criminals.
And FYI - the post above - I am quoting their post:
"this number is used by american law division its a right because when i dnt agree aftr some time the police and lawer come at my homes and arrest me its a legal number not a fake..."
is obviously from them and is one of the scammers - they can not even spell or use proper English - key right there.

What morons..... "american law division" ?? THEY COULDN'T DO BETER THAN THAT? I wasn't aware we had American police, that's one hell of a jurisdiction. You ever try to get a lawyer to come to your house for free? As an American I'm insulted by the class of uneducated, uncreative [***] trying to scam me!
I continue getting calls from this number and the first time I picked up, I was told this was a law enforcement calling me to investigate,what I do not know? I am afraid this is a scam and need to know if this is real as I have nothing to hide. Please advise
