Received 3 calls from these guys from 559-328-2353 at my office claiming to be some kind of Official US Branch of Govt. Anyways I called them to see what this was all about, and they couldn't get their names straight, So I asked for their address and the guy just hangs up. Its a SCAM of some kind for sure so don't fall for it.

    Numerous calls today, didn't bother to listen to number, from "Department of Legal Affairs" - no mention of US Treasury.  Name given was Steve (unintelligible).  Told me if I didn't contact them immediately I should have my attorney call.  Guess they figured I would call before spending money for an attorney.  Just deleted message.  It is a good thing these people are so bad at what they do.

              Alex White just called my cell phone at 4:43 PM, 05-04-2016, which has DO NOT CALL on it.  His number is 929-312-3999.  I did not answer, and he left a voice mail claiming that he was from Legal Affairs and that I should return his call to avoid legal action against me.  I am turning his name and phone number into the "complaints" dept of DO NOT CALL.

        I had a message on my answering machine from a Miss Owens with the Dept. of Legal Affairs.  She had an American accent but caller ID didn't pick the number up for some reason.  She said to call her back at 1-718-615162.  Yeah, not enough numbers.  She also said I should have an attorney on the line when I call back.  She said it concerned  a case with Sears.  I don't shop at Sears.  Total scam.  Any official dept. of any goverment will contact you via mail.  If I had the whole number, I'd call back with a good friend of mine who is a District Attorney!

            Me, too!!  Alan Clark (Indian woman)  said she had a very important issue to talk to me about and that this was a verbal notification about enforcement actions against me, and that if I did not have time, I should have my attorney call her. I didn't return the call. The phone number is 718-725-8939. Don't call.
