I received a call from this number that I could barely make out because the recording was so scratchy. I assume that's because it's being worn out by the clowns who make these threatening calls and say they are from the Treasury Department. I did not call back.
Person had the nerve to leave a voice mail which was very hard to understand. I only gleaned legal threats, magistrate, etc. until I read all the other comments and realized that he had also mentioned treasury department. I actually tried to call back but nobody answered. I reported number to the FTC phone scam site.
Thanks to all of you. I was amazed at how similar the stories are!

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
