Received a call this afternoon form this same number for my daughter. The caller stated that I needed to have my daughter call them as soon as possible, that it was in regards to a legal matter! The caller stated that his name was Officer Jack Lewis from the Department of the US Treasury. I asked him for his badge number and he said his badge number was 11264. He then stated again to have her call as soon as possible. I hung up!

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.
