Us Customs and Border Patrol Impersonator
I told him I'm not comfortable, and he had me verify a few prior addresses of mine which they had. I told him I've never been to El Paso and that I was not comfortable with the questions. He told me my was Case ID MC701089 and Warrant ID AW127315, and informed me that 3 Government agencies US Customs and Border Protection, FTC, Financial Crime Enforcement Network) were listening on the call. I kept saying I want them to contact local police and I will answer the questions in person to them, but he said I'd have to travel to El Paso to speak in person.
I was then transferred to the 'supervisor' Officer Hector Buneda (Badge # CBP023389). I told him I would reach out to local authorities and he gave me 9568491678 as a call back number.
Local investigator told me if it was legitimately that much drugs/money, they would show up in person.
Hector Pruneda Impersonating Customs and Border Agent
Investigating Officer - Hector Pruneda
PORT code: 2310
Dept 405 N Estrella Suite B, Roma, TX 78584
Incident number - DMC8297701
Warrant ID number - AW127315
The guy on the other end claimed there’s an ongoing investigation about identity theft. Apparently, they seized a package that had marijuana, cocaine, and other drugs (total value around 50 grand)—and get this—it had my personal info on it! The package was supposedly headed from Mexico to Texas.
Now, Mr. Mystery Caller gave me two options. Option one: hire my own criminal lawyer and deal with this mess, which could take a whopping 6 months. Option two: something called the ADR route (still not sure what that stands for), which could magically resolve everything in 24 to 48 hours. The catch? Investigating officers would show up at my doorstep, asking for more info.
But here’s where it gets fishy. While he was yapping away and confirming my ADR, I did some quick Googling. I came across this website and understood that it is a scam. So, I told him, “Hey buddy, share your email address, and I’ll double-check the domain before confirming. I'll directly call US Marshal Service or 911 and verify your details with them rather than you or your supervisors.” And finally, I hung up in frustration. So far, no notices or emails from anywhere.
After quick googling, I found that all these details were from here:

Rick Bauza impersonating Customs and Border Patrol agent
Indian accented scammers posing as CBP Agent Rick Pauza
He said there was a case number BMC070 and wanted my wife to confirm her Social Security number, claiming that there was a warrant for her arrest in Texas and several opened maxed out accounts plus an illegal package (with drugs?) numbered 3061. It's all BS, of course.
The game was given away when my wife received another call from the local police department (no doubt spoofed) with yet another guy with thick heavy Indian accent, using the fake badge number BR8499. That's when my wife knew it was a scam from one of those Indian scam phone call centers, and hung up on both calls.
These scammer guys are getting bolder everyday, using a real life agent's name and stolen badge number.
Scam saying they're Officer Rick Bauza or other agent from Border and Customs Patrol
Got a call from an unlisted number, saying they're Stacey Coffeic from us border patrol. Sounded like a busy office in the background.
Gave me a case number and bade number. When i started questioning, they forwarded me to Rick Bauza with badge number Cbp840648
Alledgedly some one stole my indentity and was drug trafficking, money laundering, etc in my name. They had seized a package in El Paso, TX mailed from "Maria Sanchez" in Mexico with my personal information, $94k, SS cards, and cocaine, heroin, and other drugs. He began asking for my personal information and told me he was going to get me on a recorded line to get some general personal information, so they could investigate to prove my innocence.
They asked me to give them the local police information so they could help out and then i got a call that appeared to be from the local police. Thank goodness they mispronounced the city name or else im not sure if I would have realized it was a scam. Reported it to the actual local police.

Claiming to be an officer at the US border. Someone sent a package that was addressed to me from Mexico with drugs, social security cards and driver licenses. Someone had stolen my identity and was opening up fraudulent bank accounts. He wanted to know where I bank and then I hung up.
