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.”
That itself convinced me that she couldn’t possibly be from the US Government—LOL!
I knew the IRS call was a scam when the guy (who was Indian and could barely speak English) identified himself as “Special Agent Don Johnson”.
That and he was calling from a Fresno, California area code.
Ironically it is generally recent immigrants who fall for the scam.
Santa Barbara, California area code? I’ve had the same junk call.
"Oops, forgive me, I have to hurry......my supervisor is calling me."
When they ask about your supervisor, say:
"I work for the FBI's telephone fraud unit."
Come and get me, copper!

Got the same call. Very ominous and I could see it scaring the hell out of people.
I get a lot of these calls. So I answer as Dakota County Sheriff’s Department since my cell phone is still a 651 area code.
Or sometimes I say I will refer the matter to my associate Vito Sangirardi aka Vito the Expediter. Vito has no neck.
