I don’t know if this would belong to this page but this scam could affect me financially, and can affect others if they come across a scam like this while expecting a package from overseas.
So today after work I received a call from ‘Border Force’ claiming that a package for me contains illicit substances. They even had an automated voice before speaking to the person. I’m expecting packages from Amazon and from the tracking I received they started shipping from the U.S. today. I’m gathering they have information on shipments like they hacked D.H.L to gather info to phish or one of their employees uses information to try phish someone. Because it was definitely good timing. So I sillily gave them my Name, Address and Date of Birth but once they were requesting a bank account details it immediately clicked that this is a scam. She then proceeded to threaten me by saying that you will have a record under your name and then abruptly hung up. I then immediately reported it to ScamWatch.
I feel like giving them just that info is enough for them to do something bad. I don’t want all my hard work to disappear. Any Advice on what I should do next would be appreciated.
Thank you.
