DOJ just called the place where I work

Phone call | 25 March 2013 | Mene

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

The Department of Justice supposedly just called and a man named "Jerry" who sounded of Indian or Pakistani origin (thick accent) asked if a V.M. (name obscured in case this is real) were here. I was busy and got his number to call him back. The phone number is 814-289-8211. I called back and got another foreign-sounding individual on the phone. He transferred me to "Agent Jerry's" office.

Upon reconnecting with "Agent Jerry", I told him she doesn't work here (never heard of her). I asked him how a foreigner could get that kind of work in the DOJ and he indignantly asked me why I would have a problem with a foreigner working in the Dept. of Justice. I told him I grew up overseas and have traveled the world and other countries don't allow that. We quickly ended the phone call because it was obvious we weren't going to agree.

Are you sure it wasn’t a “gay” accent? The entire DOJ is comprised of sodomites now.

I’m with the MIB.

If it was DOJ and they were serious, they would have a US Marshall deliver message in writing and in person.

That sounds like the calls I got from “Microsoft” several times last year. They are adamant that I had malicious software downloaded into my computer and they wanted to gain control over my computer with my permission to “fix” the problem. Very brazen and insistent. I finally made unapologetic racist jokes, which caused a blowup, and the calls stopped.

You can’t fix “stoopit.”

[cripplecreek]

Like the guy who conned the nigerian scammers into performing the Monty Python Dead parrot sketch.

I have customers from the FBI and when they call from work the caller id comes up 000-000-0000

I used to do business with the CIA. When their faxed POs came in, there was no number from where it came from, just a quote number referenced. Those were the good old days at Micro Warehouse.

Yup. . . though I keep tryin’

I keep getting calls from “Rachel” almost threatening me that my eligibility is about to expire and I need to contact them now. Credit Card services is a scam by a bunch of scum.

I'm with the Impossible Missions Force. The Secretary has disavowed all knowledge of my actions, but if you send me $10,000 I can have my records restored and continue protecting you.

To my knowledge the DOJ doesn’t usually call up an leave voice mails for unsuspecting people.

If they want you they come and get you.

[Hardraade]

Poh-ki-stan, probably. That’s where Obama’s muslims are concentrated.

[Valpal1]

I’d call the DOJ and complain about this number misrepresenting itself as a government official.

It appears from a cursory google search to be associated with a call center.

I agree ... more than likely a scam ... Carrier:Verizon North Inc. - Pa. came up with same city as a prior FReeper.

A search revealed this...

interesting your return core mine returned verizon

[Vigilanteman]

Its always a scam until proved otherwise.

Good assumption. Even if it sounds legit, I ask them to send something in writing to prove it is. That cools the ardor of 95% of them.
