What to do after a phone call?

Someone I know received a phone call. A message was left that said they have my friends parcel, and asked for a return phone call. Researching the phone number didn't help much, but it seems it was a mobile number. My friend is definitely spooked. There have been no other attempts to contact her, no messages, no letters ect.

Should my friend consider that address done? How long before she can breathe out?  I believe this package was sent within the country, not international. She told me her vendor offered to reship, but she is too nervous to consider it yet.

I read in a few other posts that people have received scam calls, hard to tell if this is legit or a scam. Should she just forget the whole thing? Advice/ personal experience greatly appreciated!

 
  Did they even identify themselves as anything?!?!  Like did they say "hey this is customs" or whatever?  Was there any part of the ordering/communication process where her phone number was necessary?  Did she get tracking and what does the tracking show?  Was the person calling your friends cellphone or her landline?  There was someone on a dif platform recently whose friend had a call from customs saying they had their pack and to call them back, and they actually called them back and the person answering asked them who they wanted to talk to and the friend said "i dont know you called me" to which the person promptly hung up.  Making them of course think it was a scam call, but then a week later they got an LL from customs.   Weirdest shit all around, but def an example of someone getting a call prior to receiving an LL.  I wasnt able to get any info as to how customs mightve gotten the number.  Regardless, i would not call the number at all.  Would def be even weirder if it wasnt an international pack imo.

Yes, my friend said they did identify themselves, I would prefer not to say who in this post, feel free to pm if interested. I asked her all your questions, and she said she did have to provide a phone number when communicating with the possible sender. (perhaps that is a red flag?) She said the tracking showed one update (I can share the wording if interested), and a suggested date of delivery, and never changed. The date didn't change, and there were no other scans according to the last time she looked. She also said she uses call forwarding sometimes, so she is not sure if this call was to a landline or her cellphone, which also is driving her a little crazy. Thanks for the example @DoomKitty.

 
@Dribble  yeah thats a bit strange i think.  The tracking never even showed it coming in to customs?!  Or any movement at all?  Thats starting to sound more like a possible scam which ive definitely heard of b4, but not sure why the vendor would be scamming if they're also saying they'll reship.   Ill PM you about how they identified themselves.  Either way i would not call the number back.  I mean it wouldnt erase plausible deniability cuz they called her and she could just call back and if they ask about a pack she can just say she has no clue what theyre talking about, but if its legit then why risk it, and if its a scam whats the point i guess?  Sorry that is happening to her.  Def keep us updated about this. 

 
Please do keep posting what you can. It certainly helps all our friends. 

 
An update for those who requested one :

So my friend realized after more googling that the pack had stopped at a office which has an inspection service on the second floor of the building, She feels that it was a legitimate call, not a scam like she had hoped. However, nothing has come from it, all quiet on the western front. She is calmer now than previous, and grateful all has been quiet.

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
