Got a call from this number with a guy saying he was Special Agent Michael Hernandez with the DA Law Enforcement Agency and that my name came up in a criminal investigation and that I must call immediately at this number, ext. 1131. What a joke.
We got the same call:
"I'm from the DEA and you're in big trouble! But if you pay us right now, it will all go away. This offer is off-the-table by 5:00 p.m. tonight!"
First we got it on our cell phone, then on our home number.
Total BS.
The guy gives you a bogus badge number and case file. He reports that he has a 500 page file on you but can make it go away if we send him a Western Union payment of $1200.
Oh yeah, the payment is made payable to some guy, not the US Treasury!
Yeah, like the Federal Government operates this way.
We just avoid the cal.
This same scam happened to us about a year ago.
