"Kevin" at the Department of Legal Affairs just left a msg for me. How nice of him! Regrettably, it was difficult to understand the whole message due to Kevin's heavy Indian accent. The call came from a spoofed number.
This is a scam. They called my house and told my wife I was being included in a legal matter through the Dept of Treasury. Luckily she didn't give the caller any information, but said she would have me call him. I googled it before called and found this forum, and knew it was a scam. I blocked my number and called them back. It sounds like someone at an Indian call center that answers. They say they are the "Legal Department of the Department of Treasury" and immediately request your name. I refused to give the guy my name and he told me I was disgusting for calling with a blocked number and hung up on me.
As a CPA, I can attest to the fact that this kind of thing happens very regularly. I suspect that with the recent data breaches, they will happen with more frequency. The IRS will never call you as their initial contact. Any time you get a call saying they are from the IRS, tell them you will call back. Don't ever call a number they give you. Hang up. Go to irs.gov and find a contact number there. Don't let these criminals get away with stealing your information over the phone. These people don't seem to be very good at what they are doing, but many are. Never tell them anything!
Received a call today from Roy Burnett from the Department of Legal Affairs. Said that I should get a lawyer when calling back because I was involved in some legal action. It was very hard to understand him through his thick Indian accent. He requested me to call back 323-375-8732.
