A rude man with crummy voice called asking for correct name of a person.
Said if I did not cooperate, he will send agents to arrest me.
I told him to go ahead.
I have checked this number. It has been used by two guys,
Chris Randall and Anson Williams, located in Campbell County, Virginia.
The telephone carrier is: YMax Communications Corporation of Virginia - VA
Here is the link to complaints board about this carrier:

nevada-c120675.html
You can post your complaint there.
You can also do a search on Campbell County Property Appraiser web site for these
birds, you an get their address there, if they do not live under a rock.
You can send also a complaint to Campbell County Sheriff's Office.
Or, you can send them flowers :)
Or, have UPS deliver them an excrement (sh*t) in a gift package.
Any call from this number is a scam trying to extort you for money. They have retrieved your number from an on-line pharmacy. They act like they're conducting an investigation and will try scaring you into sending them money. Just hang up!
Oh boy! Note to all scammers who think it's a good idea to attempt to extort someone out of money through threats of imprisonment: Know your [***] audience so that you don't repeat the mistake of calling someone who works for the NC State Attorney General's office!! YUP!! You just [***] with the wrong [***], "Anthony Williams". A little research on you revealed the following:
"No DEA agent will ever call members of the public demanding money or other forms of payment," said the DEA's Ramona Sanchez. She adds that the agency is well aware of the scheme, which they say has been going on for years. But she says the scams are starting to originate in the U.S. So whereas in years past, you've seen this originating overseas. In May, you started seeing them originating in the east coast.
According to the DEA, impersonating a federal agent is a violation of federal law. The DEA says sometimes, victims will find fraudulent charges on their credit card, associated with this scheme.
For more information or if you've had this happen to you, you can report it to the DEA online: https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/esor/"
Next time you get a call from "Anthony" (not "Anson" as many have reported" Williams", "Chris Randall" (aka "Randall Arrowood"), report these [***]. They have pulled this scam for years now. I found a number of their victims as far away as Arizona and California. They MUST be stopped!!!!!!!
