Caller left messages two days in a row. Stated in a disguised Indian accent that he was from "Legal Affairs" and that I was going to be sued and that I should do the right thing and call back or have my lawyer call back. Second day message stated that a lawsuit was filed against me. Did not specify a company or agency name He ended call with "Have a Blessed Day". SCAMMER. Check out the Treasury Dept website. They have more details about the scam.
