On 05/05/20 a call received from 5124896747 around 8.00 am EST about an arrest warrant issued on my name by the Texas Supreme Court. The call came from victim assistance unit.
Then he said I will be getting a call from US Marshal from Washington DC shortly.
Then US Marshal Alex Mario ( badge ID CIF 112426) came on 202 713 5582.
He explained about my arrest warrant of drug trafficking/ criminal activity related to my identity and the case will be hearing in 4 and half hours in Supreme Court of Texas.
In order to clear my name he is working with other Government agencies before taking up the case in court. He said I have to move my funds out of the USA for 24 hrs to a US Custodian account which is connected to US Embassy in Peru. If not the US government will cease my funds and cannot get back because of serious crimes recorded against my ssn.
Unfortunately I fell a victim for this. I did an international wire transfer from my bank at 1.32pm. Soon I realized it was a scam , I called the bank to reverse the transfer at 3.09pm.
My bank recalled the transaction. Still I don’t about the progress.Chase bank is the intermediary bank. Chase bank had requested funds from the beneficiary bank ( BCP bank , Lima , Peru). Still waiting.
I filed a complaint on www.ic3.gov. on the same day.
