DHS - I get calls from the all the time.

claims to be an employee of the federal government

claims to be government employee

Calling back the number you get a message saying the number is not in service.

It is the gov. Its my dads office

He sought to verify my employment on behalf of an individual in California. Said he was with federal government - DHS?  Call back number says "subscriber you have dialed is not in service."

It IS a government employee, idiot.  it's the dept. of homeland security, office of emergency communication.  (no, i'm not kidding).  it's the caller id that shows up from phoen calls placed from various desks there, not necessarily one that you can call back.  good luck with your issue!

rec'd call from this number. prev posting stating it is gov office of emergency contact (dept of homeland security.

Isaac is correct. It's actually an office that houses numerous departments within DHS in Arlington VA, it is NOT a cold or soliciting call.
