Just another scam. I had 2 calls from them 2days ago and a couple hrs ago from a 1-315-567-4410. All the same idea. They want to scare you to agree to give them money or you will be arrested. Wish somebody would arrest these low-lifes for scaring and trying to intimidate innocent people who.actually,. work for a living! Get a real job!
I also got this call but it went into voicemail. Here is the message that tries to scare you....
"According to sec. 18 you. Yes code CH. 47 five. This call is from Department of legal affairs. The very second you receive this message leave your work aside and dial a number the number is 760-284-3283. After repeated reminders to you by CB 500 3B this message if you failed to return the call in case if I don't hear from your attorney either according to sec. 211 eight. You will need to change for next 72 hours under criminal custody. As Attorney General and law enforcement team of your state has already been notified about the broad and the law enforcement team will be soon at your door step(?)."

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.
I called them back. And I asked them if I could give them a credit card number. And then I blasted them with an airhorn while on speaker phone. Very loud horn. I think I punctured his eardrum.
I did this at least ten times. The same asian sounding guy kept answering and in fact he was laughing.
