Got the same call today for my son who also doesn't live here anymore. Hard to understand, middle eastern man, with the Department of legal affairs. TOTALLY A SCAM! I have no intention of returning the call. My friends niece received one of these calls and they got her for $15,000 - her total savings. Everything done by the government is done through the mail or some sort of paper form, never by telephone.
They left a message advising that I have my attorney return the call or it could be a big legal mess. They said they were from the Dept of Legal Affairs - but did not say who they were associated with. No plans to call them back.
Yeah, they called for me, but my daughter answered and told me I needed to call them back. Unfortunately I called back from my cell phone. I told them that the U. S. Treasury's Dept of Legal Affairs wouldn't call me this way, so they threatened to send someone to arrest me in the next 45 minutes. I laughed and told them to do that. It has been over an hour now.... The down side is that they now have my name associated with my land line and my cell phone number. Definitely, don't call them back!
Received a call from a different number a spoke with a male he told me I was facing legal action from the US treasury and that I needed to call 7660-790-4001 immediately. I told him I would be waiting for the legal paperwork and hung up on him. Pretty sure its a scam.
