my dad (76 years old) has received numerous calls from this number. someone with thick foreign accent , claiming to be calling from the "drug enforcement agency administration" telling my dad that he has a warrant to search his house, and a warrant for his arrest!!!
I figure its a scam, folks looking to scare old folks into some sort of extortion plot, or phishing to gain information from him, to steal identity.
I explained it to him, and he grinned, and told me, " well, when they call back, ill tell them, thanks for giving me the advance notice of the search warrant, so that he had time to get everything illegal out of his house!!"
amazing that some folks fall for these scams, but if you just figure out, that these scammers are making calls all day long, and if they only get 1/2 of one percent of the folks, they are still making money!! that, and tons of older folks, that are too embarrassed to admit that they have been scammed.
Scam claiming to be from Virginia Power, saying your power will be shut off if the bill is not paid within 45 minutes. Went by the name Alberto Gonzales.
