Has anyone received a phone call from customs stating the have seized your package and you will be arrested in 24 hours? Just got this call today and i'm freaking out. The call was from a local number.

 
I just went on reddit and found other people that have received these calls. one person press 1 for more information and the people asked when did you received this call then eventually hung up on them.  They were calling it a scam so hopefully it just a coincidence. Pretty sketchy.  

 
Definitely sounds like some sort of scam/prank.  Did they say anything else?  Like was there some sort of extortion attempt?  Also curious if you actually have a missing order? Also, did you try googling the number to see if you can find anything about it?

Yeah thats the kind of scam i would assume it would be. CBP will def never call.  Either a letter or a knock at the door lol....Stay safe!

 
I get these annoying calls every single day also from the SSA.  Some of the vocabulary & accents are hillarious!

 
Yea I would definitely chalk it up as a scam call.I have never heard of getting a call saying hey we coming to arrest you.Would kinda kill the element of surprise and who the hell would stick around.

 
I know this is a bit late on the thread,but I just got the same call. Also have things going on and some bad blood with a scammer who tried blackmailing me. Wondering if he gave out my info as revenge or its all a coincidence. I have alot going on and thats the last thing I needed. Ima chalk it up to bullshit and fuck it off... editing  this because I read the news article and it's word for word what recorded message said. Scam.

@ShoeLace it's a total scam!!  If you really pick apart those messages everything about them is fake.  Their almost laughable. I've gotten those several times when I've placed SY orders.  Even though my orders were fine I still got those calls.  Interesting huh????  That's one of the reasons I don't go south of the boarder anymore.

Stay well!  Kitty:)

 
@mountaincat9 ya I have nothing sy but do have things due soon and with everything going on it have me a brief panic until I read that article. Like kitty said they aren't going to call about a few things and especially a pre recording. They are sending A love letter or knocking on your door. Fuck this world.

 
@ShoeLace glad your staying cool as a cucumber!  I actually saved one of the messages I got a few years back it was so funny.  The english was so broken & mixed up it was too funny that I couldn't believe they would think anyone would believe it was real. 

 
Na, I don’t think anyone that wanted to arrest you would call and let you know ahead of time that they are going too. Loses the element of surprise and I’m almost certain arrests don’t happen that way

 
@cwcville that video is hilarious!!!!!!!  That's exactly like the calls I get so obviously fake.  I've had both men & women call trying to get me to call back.

 
Total scam. They wouldn’t give you a 24hr warning if they were who they say they are. Doesn’t make sense 

 
Yes scam, I’ve had too. Not to say it’s not getting crazy out there and privacy is obvious gone straight down the tubes. I get the job but come on sometimes. What taxpayer resources are going into this black hope. None of us want anything scandalous but some of it is bs

Oops I should have separated that out, I was speaking to two issues. 1. Yes scam 2. The black “hole” is becoming more prominent and again while I understand the HS reasons. Some of it is a witch hunt and created more problematic by LV worried about fake bags.

  10. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  13. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery
  14. crimp @ crimp: neck spine surgery 8 ribs broke and scalp split onen about 6 inches
  15. crimp @ crimp: need some help dude im so injured its not even funny dm me for details just need someone willing to help me fust for a week
  16. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
  17. M @ Mokachin0: @CalFresh email me I may be able to assist
  18. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  19. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
  20. CalFresh @ CalFresh: thanks guys. I'm pulling together what I have left and leaning on the kindness of folks who support me to restock my shelves so that I can keep the lights on. Having my savings drained and my security vanish in an instant is paralyzing and the repercussions will only be realized in the coming days and weeks. for now I'm just trying to stay focused on the immediate priorities for ensuring this doesn't. cause cataclysmic failure to the life I've built for my children and I.
