I got a phone call from a man January 19. 2015. He had a heavy Indian accent. He told me that he was calling for the United States treasuary department. I was excided and asked him if I will get some money. He said "***k you what do you need money for "? With firm voice I asked why he was calling. He asked me if I knew who he was. Then he said that he was a Federal Agent. I asked what h wanted from me. He asked me to come down. I a***n asked what he wanted and his answer was the same "come down". Loudly I ***g up the phone because from the biggining I knew that it was a scam.

I have been receiving calls from this number for about 6mos and I had just mentioned to my fiance that i had not had a call from them in awhile..... but 2 days ago the call s****ed a***n. Every time they have called the caller has been the same, but used a DIFFERENT NAME; I was told originally that I was 'in vegal (his*****unciation of the the word "LEGAL") TROUBLE from the US Treasury Dept. and before I returned his call I immediately call the FBI office and the officer there told that it was a scam and he told me to contact the FTC.
