I received two of the same messages on my answering machine - very serious tone, saying that the call was in reference to US Treasury or Grand Jury action. The call was to "help me". I dialed back once and received a garbled message. I wish I had done the google search on the number and read this feedback first. I hate the fact that they now received a callback from my number. Thank you to all that posted their comments - it helps me confirm the suspicions that this was a bogus call and puts my mind to rest.
Left a message on my home phone - claimed to be calling reference a collection action, alleged I was behind on federal taxes, a statement I knew to be false. Man had an Indian accent and when I called the number he answered "Hello?" Seemed to be the same person who called and left the original message. Suspected attempt at fraud.
I got a call at 10:41 am, caller ID said "Khawaja A - 786-650-0429". I don't answer unfamiliar names or numbers, so I let the answering machine take it. The message (left by a male with a slight accent) said something like "This is the treasury intending your serious attention. Ignoring this will be an intentional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate judge or a grand jury for a federal criminal offense. My number is 786-650-0429. I repeat, 786-650-0429. I'd like you to cooperate and help us help you. Thank you.
Note: The same person called approximately an hour earlier from a different spoofed number (206-708-2849, caller ID said Washington but left the same message from the same voice.
I'm getting the same message as David and SP - repeatedly - three times so far this morning. Ends by advising me to call 786-650-0429 "to help us to help you." Has to be a scam.
I just received the same exact message as above from the same name and number. I do not answer unfamiliar numbers either. It does appear to be an attempt at fraud.
