Same deal, only with a slight twist. Same thing, said he was from the dept. of legal affairs of the treasury. The caller sounded Indian. Asked for my wifes ex husband, by name. Then asked for her younger Adult son by name, who doesn't live here. Told caller neither are here. Then caller said that I (knew my name, address) would be arrested in 3 to 4 hours for fraud. I'm vewwy scawwred... Shakin in mmmmmy boots. haha. Oh, and he was persistent. Called 3 times, 1st time let it ring. 2nd time, wife answered, and she hung up. 3rd time I answered, and listened to the entire thing. What a joke. Getting more and more of these bogus type of calls, and very tired of this. And, all our numbers are on the do not call list.
A message was left with my son to return a call to this number, so I did. The caller states he is from the Department of Legal Affairs and that I'm being arrested for tax fraud, theft by deception, etc. After not giving him any information and telling him that I don't trust him, he said I would be arrested within 30 minutes. Ha Ha!!!! This number is located in Los Angeles, CA....I'm in PA. So far no law enforcement has come to get me. Am I surprised?? This man didn't even ask my name or anything about me when I returned the call.
Same exact thing here. I did call back however and got an answering machine that directed me to the dept. of legal affairs US treasury. Didn't leave a message.

I received a voicemail message from this man on my answering machine on Wednesday. He called me by my maiden name. He said he was from the Department of Legal Affairs for the U.S. Treasury. He said if I was hesitant to call him back, that I was to have my lawyer contact him. He sounded Indian with broken English. His name was Mark Hansen his phone number is 323-287-5596. This sounded like a total scam. Be aware.
