Got a call from an Indian-sounding gentleman allegedly from the Dept of Legal Affairs, telling me I would be in a legal mess if I didn't return his call. I didn't, so I guess I'm now in a mess.

That depends Ron.    Is the affair that you are apparently having.....A  LEGAL AFFAIR......or.......IS  it...... ILLEGAL!!!!

I too (Washington State) got a call today (9/5/2014) from the same gentleman with a strong foreign (Indian?) accent with the same message that if I didn't call back, I'd be in a real legal mess.  Think it's a scam.  Anyone else know anything?

You NEVER call a crook a gentleman...because they are not. You call a crook a crook.

They left a message on my home phone today as well. I did call back however and got a answering machine of some kind....LOL...I wish i would have found this site first, i wouldnt have bothered.  I knew i didnt have anything to worry about but my curiousity got the better of me i guess....Now i know to disregard.....Its funny....some Iindian guy it sounded like saying his name was "Karen Miller"?.....LOL.....At least thats what it sounded like.....Hardly understandable but it read pretty much word for word the script i was seeing on other websites......LOL
