I received 2 phone calls from 213-401-2805 yesterday. It was someone named Mike Johnson, claiming to be from the legal affairs department of the US Treasury. He said that the US Treasury was going to take legal action against me. What gave it away as a scam is that: 1. He ended the voice message with saying that I could be a 'legal mess for you' if I didn't call him back. (No one that is in any agency of the government would use this kind of speech.) 2. It sounded like he was reading from the kind of script that most telemarketing companies use. 3. Any agency of the government will only contact you with a letter of intent, Not a phone call, email, or text message.
