I got a phone call on my home phone number (a land line) from someone with a heavy Indian accent who said his name was “Jack Daniel” from the U.S. Treasury, Dept of Legal Affairs, saying that I should have received a certified letter about some legal enforcement action against me and telling me to contact “Jack Wilson” at 323-744-6485 or I would be arrested. I did call the number and spoke with another person with a heavy Indian accent who called himself “Danny Morrison”. He wanted contact information for “my lawyer” and additional information about me. When I wouldn’t provide that he said someone was coming to arrest me in 45 minutes, then hung up on me.
I called the LAPD Wilshire Division and was told they have received hundreds of phone calls about this, and to call 911 if anyone actually comes over to my house to try to arrest me.
"Mark Johnson" called my parents house with the same schpiel. I'm guessing Mark Johnson is not his real name. Get a lawyer, yada yada yada! Call them back at 323 744-6485. The Treasury has no problems with me. They tend to use USPS and would send registered or one would be subpoenaed. Boy will they be disappointed if some rent-a-cop shows up at the house that they called. I haven't lived with my parents for 13 years. Another hint, the call back number is the same as the calling number. A large phone system would give them a random outgoing line, which would rarely match up with the call back number.
I think they need to have someone find their door. I'm sure one could resolve all of this by sending them a large some of American unmarked bills!
I have been receiving these calls for the last week. They have called for me and separately called for my husband. Calls have gone to VM but the messages left are identical. You know it's a scam when they say they are with the government yet end the call with "Have a bless day." It's not even grammatically correct - it's blessed. At least try and get the phrase correct!
