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.

  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
