The calls from +18432816754 appear to be a scam, using a threatening message to intimidate recipients into responding. The message claims to be related to a federal criminal offense, but the fact that it's a computerized voice mail and the caller doesn't provide any specific information about the alleged offense suggests it's a fraudulent attempt to trick people into engaging with the caller. The consistency of the message across multiple reports also indicates a likely phishing or scam operation.
I received a threatening message claiming there was an issue against my name, warning that ignoring the message would be considered an intentional attempt to avoid a federal criminal offense, and prompting me to press one to hold for an available officer, a tactic used to instill fear and compliance.
Since ignoring the initial call, the same phone number and location have been displayed on my caller id twice, indicating a persitent caller.

After receiving a similar call, I engaged with the scammer, asking for my name if I was indeed in trouble. The caller laughed and immediately hung up, exposing the ridiculous nature of the scam.
It's infuriating to receive spam calls; it's unclear who is selling our numbers to the highest bidder.
No message was left by the caller, which is unusual.
