A person claiming to be from the US Customs and Border Patrol called me to tell me that I was under investigation for criminal activity. They provided a badge number, case number, and arrest warrant. They then had another person call me claiming to be from the DEA. They also provided a badge number. Both badge numbers matched their names on government websites. They claimed that I was being charged for crimes, and that if they felt I was wrongly accused, I could provide a statement and, if I cooperated, I could avoid any legal consequences. They wanted to suspend my current SSN and issue me a new one, which would allow me to transfer my assets to the new SSN. They wanted me to leave my bank accounts under the old SSN open so they could monitor for illegal activity, thus proving my innocence. They claimed I needed to transfer my cash assets out of my bank accounts first (so I didn't lose access to them) and then convert them to federal bonds. I would then need to show the receipt to the people who came to my door. When I was suspicious, they had the chief of police for my local police department give me a call. He was asking similar questions. I could not verify his badge number. At that point I hung up and attempted to call the chief of police back but ended up waiting on hold at the nonemergency police line. It was at this point that I hung up. Other claims they made: I couldn't tell anyone about this as this was a highly classified case still under investigation, that if I refused to work with him (the DEA agent) then he would be forced to execute the warrant which would require me to be arrested and detained for questioning for 14 days until I fought the state on it in court, that I had been under surveillance for as long as 9 months but that the crimes themselves had been happening for years.
