I receive a robocall on my cell phone. Because I receive so many unsolicited calls I don’t pick up these calls. But these calls leave a robo message stating it’s the FBI and I must return their call or I will be arrested. I’m receiving these calls frequently. One yesterday and again today. I have received them prior to this but blocked the number. I am on the cell phone “Do Not Call” list.

The caller referred to himself as Officer David Walker and had a foreign sounding accent.
