Received message saying some legal action was taking place and that I should call back or have my lawyer call back. When I called a person with accent said they were with legal affairs with the US Treasury. I asked them again what it was about and the person said "would you let me talk" and then hung up.
Received this call at 6:09 a.m. It woke me out of a sound sleep. Didn't recognize the number, so did not answer. They left a message on my answerphone that the call was from the Attorney General's office and that I had an issue that had to be cleared up immediately! B*L*O*C*K*E*D.
The caller sounded drunk, saying they were calling about legal action against Mike. Ended the call with "have a blessed day." Bizarre and very likely a scammer of some kind

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.
They left a message using my husband's first name and said he was with the U.S. Treasury. He called right back and I answered as he was saying he was with the Treasury and I said NO YOUR NOT. And he said I hope your prepared to be arrested! I do not think someone with a heavy foreign accent would be calling me from the Treasury. Glad I looked on here and verified it is just another scam.
