Fraud/identity theft help needed...

[DawglegrightinSC]

Got a call this morning from US Border patrol. She gave me her name, badge and a case number. Apparently someone using my name has several houses bought in my name in Texas. They have intercepted packages addressed to my home that contain drugs, CCs and cash. She gave me this government site to verify who she is:

Cecilia M. Barreda

Securing America's Borders

www.cbp.gov

Then told me to look up the US Marshall district office in Texas that would be calling me from this site that looks legit:

Headquarters and Local Districts Offices | U.S. Marshals Service

The geographical structure of the U.S. Marshals Service mirrors the structure of United States district courts.

www.usmarshals.gov

Anyone experienced this or have an idea if this could be real? Sounds too far fetched to be real but I also don't want Marshalls at my door.

First thing to do is to call a legit federal agency, FBI, or other and VERIFY that she is who she said she is. Next is to contact her supervisors. Sounds like a scam.

Did she give you a phone number?

Sounds like a scam, agree with the poster below. Find a legitimate number for Texas and call to verify. The link that you posted is for middle Alabama.

Hire an agent, sell the houses, take a vacation, buy NVDA.

this is terrible advice!! OP, give her your credit card number so she can purchase protection for you, bank account and routing information would expedite (instead of a credit card company middle man)

FBI could not help but I called another district's office for US Marshals and was toll it was fraud. Thanks for the help.
