Got a call from this number - Man on the other end claimed to be John Howard from the legal department of US Treasury and wanted to speak to my wife regarding an issue involving legal action against her. When we said she was busy he asked to be called back at the 415-742-6882 number. Although he introduced himself as John Howard we could easily recognize that he was of Asian (Indian) origin and trying to speak with an American accent. Will update here if he or the department calls back.
