Fake call from the "US Treasury Department" saying there is an action against you and you must call back immediately. The caller and those answering the phone have distinct Indian accents. Hung up on me the moment I told them I was an attorney.

Received two calls form this number today.
I did not pick up to answer.
First time there was a message left from someone with a heavy accent about some action suit.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 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.
The Caller said that I am wanted for a criminal felony and that I need to cooperate with them. He did not identify himself by a name or company, just pressured me that it is urgent that I call him back and cooperate with the federal investigation. I did not return the call, of course. I have no idea what he is talking about.
