Received a voice mail from this number. Some warning about this being the second call and respond or face prosecution, etc.
I phoned the number. It rang for some time, then someone pick up: "Department of the Treasury, how can I help you". Guy had a slightly island accent, spoke rather monotoned. I said, "I don't know, you phoned me". And he hung up.
I assume a scam. First of all, I have NEVER phoned a government office without getting a voice mail system: "Press 1 for this, or Press 2 for that, and "Please hold, someone will be with you shortly." And then waiting 45 minutes for someone to pick up.
So, I assume a scam of some kind.
