213-928-7123

I received a call on my home phone from the phone number 1-213-928-7123 and the voice on the other end was an Eastern Indian man claiming to be "Keith Nelson from the Department of Legal Affairs- US Treasury." What sounded like a recorded message telling me that I owed money and he was going to send the police to my home (he actually had my home address) to take me to jail. I hung up and called the number back, he has an official sounding voice mail but after a few times of calling he finally answered "hello". I hung up but proceeded to call him NON STOP for 6 hours and leave him messages. I went anywhere from threatening him back, to playing the songs "One way or Another" and "You're a Jerk", to blaring my door alarm,  screeching phone noises, complete silence,  laughing hysterically,  telling him what a piece of [***] he is, telling him that the FBI is going to HIS house, and that I posted his number on every social media site......the list goes on and on. At one point his voice mail was full. I don't care how much this costs me in long distance charges, I will continue to call him into the wee hours of the morning.

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

Rececived numerous calls from the Indian man and his threats scared my mother. He finally left a voicemail that was not clear. I attempted to call back to no avail. Do not listen to him it is definitely a scam.

1-213-928-7123, Man with strong foreign accent called 11/21/14, claiming to be from U. S. Department of Legal Affairs. Said I needed to contact my lawyer, for what I am not sure. His accent was very strong and I could not understand most of what he said. I did not answer the phone.

M Benavidez......your post is hilarious!  I just received a call from this same phone number and let it go to my answering machine.  I heard the guy identify himself as Joshua Williams (heavy Indian accent) and he was from the Dept. of Legal Affairs-US treasury.  When I heard he was looking for our daughter, I lost it!  I picked up the phone and SCREAMED at him, "You sonofabuck!  How dare you call our house!  Our daughter doesn't live here anymore and I know this is a fraudulent call.  Don't you EVER call back here again!".  I slammed the phone down so hard that it's fortunate I didn't break it.  Our family is dealing with the impending death of a brother and this is the last thing I need my phone line to be mucked up with.  Hopefully, people are getting smarter and don't fall for this scam.  Maybe I'll get a whistle to put by my phone in case they ever call back again.  Someone is going to need a doctor to deal with a broken eardrum!

I just got one of those calls.  Also telling me about a legal matter and that it would be to my advantage to call them back or it would turn into a mess.  It is obviously a scam.  The treasury does not make calls; they send you certified mail.....

I received a message left on my answering machine today so I decided to call back as the accent made it difficult to understand. An individual did pick up the phone and and preceeded to ask my name which I didn't give but after a moment he stated my name most likely my number was tied into some computer program. I told him I would be looking into his number and low and behold...it's in California. Last scammers were in Washington St. Guess there working their way down the coast.

I received a call from this number. He is not to good at fooling people.

I keep getting calls from this number ' "US Treasury" legal affairs dept.

I just received a message from "Steve Smith" (with a heavy Indian accent) also from US Treasury, Dept of Legal Affairs. The caller ID had a different phone number (315-519-8019) than the number which he provided to call back.  I called the ID caller number first which, when I called back, was endlessly busy. When I called back the number he provided (213-928-7123), it said that the voice mail was for "Keith Nelson" and was "full" (maybe due to the hilarious response of M. Benevidez above).  I was initially concerned because my mother just passed away and as executor, I am dealing with not only a LOT of grieft but also, many business phone calls... Now, thanks to all of you nice people who posted, I am going to ignore this jerk.

I just received a call from a "Michael Lee" - sounds like the same exact guy. Of course, I did not give any indication the person he was calling for (me) was there. He wouldn't tell me anything about what it was, or who he was, and actually had the gall to ask for another number. I told him no, I would take a message or he wouldn't get a call back. Knew something was up by that alone, took pulling teeth to get a phone number and info. Sounded like a bunch of baloney - why would the US Treasury be coming with a police officer in 2 hours to my address? He's not going to get a call back, and if he calls when anyone else is home, oh I guarantee he will be chewed out. The government tends to handle things with mail and paperwork, not vague phone calls that don't announce the identity of the caller.

Just received te same call and message on my answering machine, as I did not recognize the 213- number when it came up.  Same story as everyone above.  He's still at it!

This Indian jerk left a message on our home phone with the same lame story. Heavy Indian accent with an American name "Alan Clark" (how dumb can you be fooling people with that). He should say his name is Apu Atseveneleven or Apu Kwikeemart or Stinky Armpits.... that would be more convincing.
Got my wife worried. I told her that he is not real, a scammer and not to call back.
I should do what Benavidez, call his ass up nonstop with a heavy Indian accent and telling him that the INS, FBI, IRS, LAPD are on their way to send his [***] back to India.

I received a call from (213) 437-6041, it woke me up out of a dead sleep. As I looked at the number I knew what it was, I've been getting these phone calls for so long that I just answer them once to make sure and block them. When I answered he asked for an Eric something, he didn't even have the right number! Anyway, I told him he had a wrong number and he said something about the US Treasury and asked my name, I responded with "No." He seemed annoyed with me and asked again. I responded the same way and he began to ask me questions, being half asleep I couldn't understand him through his accent. At one point it sounded like he asked if this number belonged to a "residence", but he must've said "resident" and when I responded no he said he was sending the authorities to check on that and make sure I was a legal US resident. (I've been threatened like this before over claiming I don't own a computer.) I was fully awake at this point and asked what company he worked for and tried to ask his name and he hung. I waited a few minutes and called him back, I asked to speak to management and he said he was and when I continued asking questions he asked who I was and I asked questions until he hung up after yelling "You're wasting my time!" I called back and got his name (Keith Nelson) from his answering machine. Again waited a few minutes and called back telling him I was from the US Fraud Dept. and there had been multiple reports about this phone number and that I wanted to make sure this was Keith Nelson in LA and he smashed buttons in my ear until he finally just hung up. I've blocked the number now, but I had a little bit of fun.
