The caller was a recording of a Caucasian sounding women saying to call back 347-826-1160
on an urgent legal matter that needs my immediate attention. I did not call back.
Got a call asking if i was said person, on my home phone. Person was Middle Eastern and said he was from US Treasury Department, office of Legal Affairs. Said there is legal action being taken against me . I needed to give my lawyers names. When I asked for name and operator ID, he said let me get the paper work started and call you back. He then hung up. The number on call Id was NY unknown. I called back and another Middle Eastern voice answer US treasury. These people are getting good. coincidentally my cell phone rang at same time with an unknown number that you couldn't call back. These people need to get a real job and stop trying to scam innocent people!

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.
Got a call from this number on my parents landline, even though I no longer live there. Middle eastern sounding guy identified himself as Kevin Green, saying he was from the Department of Legal Services and that I needed to call him back or have my lawyer call him back. Mentioned something about a case against me? Tried calling back but got a busy signal, called again later but no one every answered. The phone just rang continuously.
