Report

I received a phone call today at 12:51 PM from someone claiming to be a border patrol agent. They received a suspicious package from Mexico with 2 receiving destination addresses. 7609 Mark Twain Avenue El Paso TX 79928 and one close to mine in Lawrenceville, GA. He told me that my identity and social security number was compromised and therefore being blocked. He said that two US Marshals would come to my house tomorrow to verify my personal identification documents. I will have a new SSN issued and all of my accounts will temporarily be blocked. This immediately raised some red flags all over and I told him that I was not going to agree to do that. He immediately started rushing me through some information and asked me to contact my local police department for any further information. He gave me a case # cbf851922 and his name was Christopher Canna id# LM505. The number where he was calling me from is 630-329-8334 from Roselle, IL.

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be a boarder patrol agent. They received a suspicious package from Mexico with 2 receiving destination addresses. 7609 mark twain avenue El Paso tx 79928 and one close to mine in west Lebanon. They address was not correct as it is an apt building and they listed the number as the range of apt numbers not my individual number. I told them to open the package and see what is inside and they just kept saying suspicious contents? When I pushed them for what they mean as suspicious they said cocaine. They gave me a case # cbf851922 she name is Stephanie t Alton id# la9305. As I looked up the El Paso address I told them I found this address on a phish scamming site and hung up

I was called at 11am Thursday January 25 from someone claiming to be Rick Pauza, an agent with the US Customs and Border Protection in Texas. I was told that they had received multiple packages with illegal substances under my name and that someone had opened multiple bank accounts under my name and conducting illegal activity. They said that it was a money laundering and drug trafficking case, provided me with a badge number: LM93502, case ID #CBF851922, and another number for the case DMC701089. They said that one of the addressed where packages had been shipped to was 7609 Mark Twain Ave in Texas. They transferred me to a US marshal, claiming to be A. Peterson Assistant Director, had me verify the phone numbers on the website that I was receiving calls from to ensure that this was not a scam and they were who they said they were.

They told me I had two options to move forward: 1) hire a lawyer, fly to Texas to go to court in-person or 2) the US marshals would take this to court on my behalf. The second option was a "summary jury trial" where there were 3 steps involved. The first step was to identify the bank accounts I currently have active, withdraw the funds, and then go to a bitcoin ATM to deposit the funds so that they could verify that these were my accounts. All other accounts under my name not identified would then be closed. I did the second option where I went to my bank, withdrew all of my funds (24,600), and then entered it into a bitcoin account that they created.

After I went to the bank, they transferred me to the "El Paso Police Department" where they would stay on the phone with me throughout the entire transaction. They sent me the QR codes to use and then had me delete the text messages (permanently delete) them from my phone. I only received one printed receipt from the bitcoin machine. They told me not to talk to anybody at any point and stayed on the phone with me the whole time. They also made me download the AnyDesk app so they could see what I was doing remotely. Once this was done, they stayed on the phone with me the whole time until I got home and said that two US Marshals would come to my house the following day 11am to verify my personal identification documents. This took about 3-4 hours in total. They told me not to tell anyone this had happened since this was an ongoing federal investigation.
