This sounds like a minor variation of a scam perpetrated mostly by people in south Asia using magicJacks. The number you were told to call back is a magicJack number. Did the caller have an Indian or Pakistani accent?
It may also be someone domestically or elsewhere trying to pull off this particular extortion scam. All they need is the Internet, a phone, and a magicJack.
I am not aware of any US or state government agency using magicJacks to make or receive business calls. They do not have the physical durability for such heavy use. Because of this fact and for other reasons, they are intended, I think, only for home use or when traveling abroad (but only where it is legal to use them).
Received a call and voicemail today from this number. The man with an accent stated his name was Sr. Office David Justice from the headquarters of the United States Financial Grounds Investigation Bureau. According to him he is calling me in regards to a serious ongoing legal matter that I have been named the primary suspect, it would be in my best interest to call him back otherwise he will get the cops to pick me up from either my job or home. The call back number he gave was (716) 810- 4313.
