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.

    I got the same threatening call from "Jason White".  He left a message from "The Dept. Of Legal Affairs".  Very heavy Indian accent. He told me that my attorney must contact him at once. He said his telephone number is 929-284-7008. I called the number and got a busy tone.

    Received a call at 1:10pm, on Mon Dec 13, 2016, from a voice recording from The Department of Legal Affairs of the United States of America.  (My caller id showed number from Walnut, CA: 909-345-2520. Instructed me to call back with or without my attorney, as there is a warrant for my arrest. So, I called back and a man with very thick Korean (?) accent stated he is Officer Gerald Cohen, and that I have a warrant for my arrest for unknown monies I owe to the United States. I told him that I shall have my attorney uncle and  state trooper cousin at my side when they show up to arrest me; he then informed me that I need a "psych rist" because I'm stupid. I asked him what a "psych rist" is and he called me stupid, again. I then told him that I have his number and location, and I will be talking to the feds, then he told me to shove something up my......!

    My compliments to his family for raising such a charming boy!

    Received voicemail from a restricted number with a case # and a message telling me I needed to call back or I would be arrested, bla bla bla.  The # I was to call back is 518-500-2085.  I called back, knowing this is a scam and said a few choice words and the man who answered "Kevin Peterson" (ya right) promptly hung up.

    I received a call from Eric Watson claiming to be a manager from the U.S. Treasury Department and claimed I have 9,000.00 that is owed to me just for being a law abiding citizen and not breaking  any laws in the past 6 months.  This money was  also an early Christmas bonus to spend however I  wanted to. The gentleman  had a heavy accent possibly from India or Nigeria not sure, but he put me through to speak with his supervisor who was  to be the head of the Department of Treasury.
    They have scammed me out of 450.00 convincing me to purchase ITunes cards and one time steam cards in 200.00 and 250.00 each steam card 50.00 each, and one iTunes card was 100.00, and the other three was  50.00. I  was told if I purchased these cards giving them the numbers off the back of these cards, in a matter of 15 minutes after giving them by card information to my bank ..I would receive 9,750.00 wired to my bank. I  may be stupid, but they got me. Now I am out 450.00 I will never see again.
