I received a call on 8/27/20 at 11:30 am from man with heavy south Asian Indian accent saying he was with social security administration and that he had been contacted by the DEA for a warrant for my arrest for fraudulent bank accounts, credit cards, and home addresses.
They said they needed verification of my bank account to prove who I was and tried to persuade me to transfer money my account to theirs because all accounts associated with my name needed to be removed. I refused to transfer money and the caller got angry and told me the authorities would come for my arrest and then said,”go **** yourself” All callers had a thick south asian Indian accent. The man who claimed to be from Social security said his name was Brian Thomas. The man who claimed to be from the DEA said his name was name was Austin Black. They gave badge numbers.
My caller ID on cell phone traced them to Canutillo, Texas in El Paso county At 1(915) 671-0303.
