I received a call today 8/18/2014 from a woman with an Indian (INDIA) accent calling to tell me she was from the Legal Affairs division of the US Treasury in Washington DC, and that I was a suspect in a crime. Said I needed to call Officer David Chambers back at the same number she just called from 202-769-5271 within 15 minutes to find out what the charges were all about. I said why do I have to call him back? Why didn't he just call me himself. I asked to be transferred and She said it doesn't work that way and that I was to be quiet and listen to her and her instructions. Told me if I did not call back the officer David Chambers within 15 minutes I would just have to suffer the consequences. She was very rude and abusive in tone.
Needless to say, since I am a disable homebound elderly person, I knew I could not possibly be in any kind of trouble especially with the Treasury Dept., so I hung up and didn't call back.
No police came to my house!! But it did rattle my nerves for a minute or two, which I did not appreciate!
