I am Craig Johnson and I am calling regarding an enforcement actions executed by the Department of Legal Affairs requiring your serious attention. Your case number is CF79621. Ignoring this message will be an additional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before magistrate judge or the grand jury for a federal criminal offense. My number is 301-494-8120. I repeat it's 301-494-8120. Do not disregard this message and do return the call. Now if you don't return the call and I don't hear from your attorney either, then the only thing I can do is wish you a good luck as the situation unfolds on you.

And they certainly don&#8217;t call requesting money! If you do get this kind of scam call, remember; don&#8217;t give out any personal or financial information. Follow up such calls with an official complaint through the FBl&#8217;s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.IC3.gov.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-84b9b9b1 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4e0b3d7f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our best advice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Let all calls from unknown callers go right to voicemail. If you get a message that sounds like anything like above, it&#8217;s a scam! Delete the message and then go right to the AppStore or Google Play and get YouMail. Easily get any more info on any number and can decide whether to call them back or block them forever.
