Just got an odd message, allegedly from the BATFE. I let it go to my answering machine since I didn't recognize the number. It said it was for all FFL holders (I have a C&R license) in my area, with a warning that there had been a rash of break-ins in my area and to be sure and secure all firearms, etc..
Anybody else get something similar? They said to call a 1-888 number to report any break-ins or with questions I think. The caller id said (202) 648-9999 - GSA FTS Regional
Did a little googling and it sounds as though it may have been legit. This site mentioned it back in October.

I also just got this email, so I'm thinking it may be legit:
