James Watson left a message for my mother stating that he was from the U. S. Department of Legal Affairs and he was calling to give her verbal notification of a law enforcement action against her. He also said that her or her attorney should call him back at 916-282-9257 because this was an important matter. My mother is elderly and called me so upset about the phone call. I called the number back with my mother on the other line and asked for his employee ID which he provided as SY4856. I told him that he left a message for my mother and we want to know what this is about and he hung up. I tried to call back and it would ring once and then go to a busy signal. I then tried from a different phone and James Watson answered and told him I knew this was a scam and he said "Well then why did you call back again?" Trying to find where I can report this to the U.S. Department of Legal Affairs but not having any luck.
