"Jeff Thomas" from "Department of Legal Affairs".Scam,saying it was regarding taxes from 2011 and I would soon be behind bars. After reading the many websites regarding the scam and this phone number, I called back and He said that all the people who have called and said this is a scam are now "Behind bars". As I was questioning this, asking why (if this was true) I hadn't received something in the mail...then something happened and then I was talking to a woman, who said a scammer was calling them and that I must be a scammer. I gave her the names of the websites citing this scam and she was (supposedly) going to give me a number to make a complaint as she was having the same issue...but then she mysteriously cut off.
