Impersonating U.S. Border Patrol
Considering the reputation of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, I would be pretty freaked out if I got a call from them, too. Many folks got “calls” from the U.S. Border Patrol this year saying that the agency had intercepted illegal items that had been sent to them. Others were told that there was a “diplomatic pouch” for them or that there was a warrant out for their arrest. To resolve the matter or get more information, people were asked to pay up.
All of these were scams.
