This call is an attempt to intimidate you into believing you owe the US Treasury money. First of all, the US Treasury does not make threatening phone calls. You will not be threatened with court and/or judicial process in a phone call like this. No money owed a federal agency like that will be handled with a threatening phone call. Correspondence via US mail will proceed any phone call. Do not give these people any personal information (bank accounts or credit cards) if they talk to you... they will scare you with things like docket numbers and other court references. To make sure this is not a valid claim, check with your local court clerk to verify the docket number. It will not be a valid docket number. I answered a call like this and the intense pressure they put on me to settle this "debt" scared me into ALMOST giving in and paying. Thank goodness I listened to my common sense and didn't pay. When I insisted they send me a bill for whatever they said I owed, they hung up and never called again. Please be careful!
