“I just got a call from a foreign-sounding woman claiming to be part of the “Legal Department of the US Treasury.” She threatened some very ominous legal actions that were going to be taken against me, and ended the call by hoping I have a “blessed day.”

Got the same call. Very ominous and I could see it scaring the hell out of people.

I play senior softball and about 6 or 7 years ago while sitting at the picnic table after our normal pick-up game, one of the older guys confided in me that he received his credit card statement, which normally his wife takes care of, and he had charges run up to $30,000. When he questioned his wife about it, she didn't know......

I don't know whatever came of it, whether she was scammed or their credit card info was stolen. I suspect she was scammed because they could have recovered any charges that would have been made in unauthorized purchases..........

All that stuff was new to me at that time so I didn't know how to advise him................

Since then, I had my credit card info stolen, and I have no idea how, and over $7,000 were charged in purchases in Louisville KY........After filing the proper paperwork, all those monies were taken off my credit card.......
