Received the same phone calls everyone else and all the same threats. Has anyone gotten the phone calls stopped yet? If so could you please give me details of how to block their phone calls.
thanks,
I just got a call from this number. he called 3 times in a row within a couple of minutes before leaving a voicemail. it was a man with a thick foreign accent that said he was with the State Bureau of Investigation and that my social security number (which he said on the voicemail) was black listed and that I needed to call back because I was in "very big trouble".

It is a scam - social security numbers do not get "blacklisted" These people are nothing more than low life thieves who have stolen peoples information and are using it to try to extort money. Report calls to www.ic3.gov. Put a fraud watch on all your accounts and then just ignore them. I did buy a loud whistle and now when they call I blow it in their ear - gets rid of them for a little while - then they call back from another number with another silly sounding name.
...oh and they say they are from the State Investigations Bureau. I'm sure the Attorney General of California's office would like to know she has scammers impersonating her attorneys and her office. I'm sure that's a criminal offense in that state...has to be....
