Stated that if I did not return their call with regards about the US Treasury, the local police would be at my door. Then wished me a good life. This was all recorded on my answering machine, as I DID NOT answer the phone.
Caller type: Scammer
Company: Said it was the US Treasury
Number: 916-282-9267
Unrelenting calls from "Mike Watson" - over 20 calls in one hour today - threatening residents at this number and attempting to extort money. Used profane language, hung up several times and continued to call back repeatedly. Filed police report and called phone company. Verbally abusive, taunting every single time he called. Would not allow us to speak to his supervisor. He had a Pakistani accent and could not even spell "Mike Watson" his supposed name. We warned him not to call again and advised him the police would be arriving to file a report to which he laughed and taunted, asking "Oh big deal. What are you going to do." Hung up on me and called back several more times telling us to respect him. His claim is to be from the "Department of Legal Affairs" and refused to indicate a location, branch or other identifiable information. He was told not to call back every single time he called and refused to comply. Police report filed, FTC notified. Officer attempted to contact the individual at the number and received a fast busy signal.
