Victim Location 30215
Type of a scam Phishing
I received a phone call from a number with a South Dakota area code. The caller said he was with U.S. Customs working with the DEA and claimed there is a warrant out for my arrest in association with multiple charges of money laundering and drug trafficking. They said I had mailed large sums of money and illegal drugs in boxes via USPS to multiple addresses in the U.S. They asked me to provide my SSN and proceeded to grill me regarding how many bank accounts are currently active in my name, how much money I have in my account, and threatened me with prison time, seizure of all assets, being blacklisted, having my drivers & passport license revoked. When I called them out for being scammers, they said they were going to contact my local police department to send a team of officers to arrest me. Someone claiming to be a police officer from my local department then called me and said he was going to send his team to arrest me. I called a real local police officer who confirmed it was indeed a scam.
