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.

  6. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  7. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  8. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  10. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  12. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  16. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
