THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE FROM AN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. THAT I WAS BEING SUED BY THEIR CLIENT AMERICAN LOAN OR AMERICAN PAYDAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT THE PAPERWORK WAS GOING TO THE COURT AN MONDAY AND THAT I WAS GOING TO BE ARRESTED ON MONDAY. THEY SAID THAT THE FUNDS WENT IN TO ACCT # SO & SO, AND HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THE ENTIRE ACCOUNT NUMBER, WHICH WAS EXACTLY CORRECT. AND HE NEW MY ADDRESS, SOCIAL AND PLACE OF WORK. HOW DO THEY GET THIS STUFF?????? NEEDLESS TO SAY, I NOW HAVE TO CANCEL MY CARD, CLOSE OUT THE ACCOUNT AND REOPEN ANOTHER WHOLE ACCOUNT. HOW INCONVENIENT!!! OH, AND THEY SAID THEY WERE FROM CALIFORNIA.
I received a message claiming they were the dea and had confiscated a package several years ago and there was a search warrant for my home and an arrest for myself. I called back. I never could understand the lt's name but it was a female. The office sounds professional and she yelled at me a little and said unless I wanted to go to jail for 5-7 years and pay court costs and attorney fees then we should contact the Dominican republic customs and try to work it out. I said ok and she put me on hold. I began researching this and found many had been scammed the exact same way. She got back on the phone and said I have customs on the line and I said I researched this and it's a scam. She then HUNG UP on me!!! It did scare me but thank goodness I checked it out.
Caller: DEA
I,too received this message. I did not respond since I haven't ordered anything through the mail, and I have 3 separate addresses. I looked up the # online since the caller ID said San Jose California-totally unknown city to me.
