I received a voicemail from an individual stating they were from the department of Treasury. The message stated that this was a second attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate judge or a grand jury for federal criminal offense. It left a number to call and contact a representative. I called back and was connected with a man with a very thick accent. He was very difficult to understand. But he told me that my name had been linked to a car that was rented and recovered with 2lbs of cocaine inside. They then raided an apartment linked to the name and found that they had opened several bank and credit card accounts under my name. He said that they needed to cancel my social security number and issue me a new one.
He then began asking about my current bank account and how much money I had in said account. This made me feel very uneasy and I became upset. I asked to speak to his supervisor. When I was transferred to the supervisor, he was very rude asking why I didn’t understand what the previous man had told me. I told him that he was very hard to understand and this is very upsetting information. He proceeded to go through the account of why they had opened an investigation. He then proceeded to ask me about my current bank account and the status of the account– how much money was in the account? I just paid rent and bills and have nothing in my account at the moment. He asked again where I keep all my money and I told him again in that bank account, but there is nothing in the account. Then he hung up on me.

These "people" pretend to be the IRS/department of treasury and say there is something wrong with your taxes, that there is legal action pending against you. The voicemail is robotic and threatens the phone call as first contact and that ignoring it will result in penalties or worse.

I received numerous automated phone messages requesting that I return the call. No name of company or caller is given, no name is given as to whom they are trying to contact. The message insinuates that if the call is not returned that it will result in charges going to the Magistrate Court. I refuse to return a call to any message of this sort.
Please find out who this is and shut them down.
