My client got a call. Message: Call Criminal Investigation at 202-609-7049. Client called. Person asked who client was, client identified self. More questions. Client is uncomfortable and says my lawyer will call you. [Wish the client had called me first, but if all of my clients were perfect all of the time, life would be different.] Client calls me. I call 202-609-7049. Male voice. Accent not from the United States. [Does not give name title or employee identification number.] Tell him I am calling on behalf of my client. He asks the name of my client. Tell him name. Asks number. I ask what number? Says any number, land line, cell phone for example. This is strange. I ask, "Where are you located?" Line was disconnected.
My conclusion: SCAM.
Told my client not to call the number and block calls from it.
Filed out a TIGTA report on line.
Feel, I should do more, so I am doing this.
