I was told that my name was being charged with multiple crimes including drug trafficking and money laundering of millions to billions of dollars. I was told that multiple bank accounts over numerous banks were also opened in my name. The caller then read my Medical License number and NPI to me. I was told that documents including this information were found in a car at the south border of Texas and this was why I was the prime suspect.
I was told that I was being contacted by an Officer with the State Medical Board because the board had been performing a separate private investigation at both my current and previous place of work. (The caller then identified both of these locations, including the address.) Based on the investigations at both offices, the board had reason to believe that I was not guilty and that I was a victim of Identity Theft. For that reason, the officer wanted to work with me to clear my name so that I could practice medicine freely. I was directed to leave work immediately and told that I must tell my supervisors that I had a family emergency and would be out on leave. I was also read information regarding the “Privacy Act” and told that I was not allowed to share my being involved with anyone, including a personal attorney, as that could hinder the success of the investigation.
I then left work but was instructed to head directly to the nearest UPS store to receive a fax in my name. I then received a document with the Pennsylvania State Medical Board seal, stating that I was being charged with the above and that I would have to resign from medical practice during my involvement with the investigation unless the FBI would let me sign a waiver. (See attachment A.)
The agent then proceeded to perform a conference call with another man who answered the phone as “Michael Boyd, FBI” then proceeded to give an ID number. The medical board agent spoke with the FBI agent concerning my case. And after argument where the medical board officer pleaded my case, the FBI agent agreed that I would be able to take part in the investigation but would have to provide a bond amount to show my honesty and loyalty to the case.
I was provided with a “private investigation line” (804-453-0634) where I would be able to share and communicate freely with the investigations team. I was told that I must share my daily schedule and whereabouts on this line while I was involved in the investigation. I was then asked to send a photo of myself holding my driver’s license, a photo of my signed document (that I received by fax), and a copy of my change of address card. I complied. I was told that the courthouse was closed for the day, so that I would have to wait until the next morning to receive any additional information regarding my ability to practice medicine during the investigation.
The next morning, I took a leave from work, as requested. I received a phone call in the morning from Officer Carnell. He told me that in order to resume medical practice, I would have additional paperwork to complete, but that the “department of defense” team would allow me to continue. I went to another UPS Store, where I received a fax in my name. This time the document was from the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine, again with the seal in place. This was an Authorization to Practice form (Please see attachment.) I was instructed to complete the document (which included my social security number and DEA number) and send photograph to the private investigation line. The document included a request for $5000 in bonds to resume medical practice.
Upon speaking with the agent, I had shared that I do not have $5000 readily available, as my boyfriend just purchased a house that we are remodeling. I was asked then to use my credit card to buy gift card vouchers at both Nike and Nordstrom and told this would ensure my promise and that I would receive a check for this money once the investigation had been completed.
I was told to go to various Giant Eagle, Whole Foods, and Market District Locations, while staying on the phone on “a recorded line” the whole time. I was even given suggestions of stores I could go to based on “my current location.” I was asked to call my credit card company, with the investigator on the line, to ensure that I was the one taking out this money.
I traveled to 2 supermarkets where I was able to purchase the gift cards, then was instructed to send photographs of the card numbers and codes. I was told that as long as I complied, I would maintain my ability to practice medicine.
The following day, I received a call that the team had several suspects who they believed to be the perpetrators, and that my name would most likely be cleared from the drug trafficking allocations. However, since my name was still being charged with money laundering, I would have to secure my name by removing the money from my personal accounts, while the investigative team monitored the use of the other accounts in my name. I was then asked to remove $1500 from my savings account to purchase more gift cards as the day before. I was also asked to use the remaining $4000 on my credit card balance to purchase additional gift cards. I was also told that I must send photos of my bank account and credit card online statement. I complied. I was then told that I should hear back the next day regarding if they were able to monitor money flowing from my accounts and that I would receive a check with the sum of money I had given.
Later that evening, I feared for my job and my money. I broke down and told my boyfriend that I was part of an investigation and that I was terrified and that I had no money left. After a while, he expressed concern that I was a victim of a scam and that I should contact the head of my department at work and the local police department.
Since then, I have filed a police report (See attached.) I have also frozen all three major credit bureaus. I have argued with my bank, who will not refund me $1500 that was withdrawn. I was provided with an attorney through my work, who has helped me report to various agencies, including the FBI, Social Security Department, and DEA. I have been in a constant battle with my credit card company, ******* ***, to receive the funds back onto my account. To this date I have still not received the funds back. I am now also in the process of signing up for ****** **** **** to have my information monitored within the Dark Web.
I have not heard back from my local police department since my original reporting. My life and identity have been stolen from me, and now I must pick up the pieces and potentially pay the $10500 that was essentially stolen from me.
