Yes, this is the key statement lol. Who needs prescriptions and who cares about the FDA or Federal laws? Interestingly, these scamming retards argued with me that they are 100% legitimate!
Not to mention “giving 100 free pills”. Sounds totally legit!
Told me the same. I said when I have the FDA & FBI call them to be sure & mention that to them. I do in fact have a buddy within the FDA and am calling now.
Of course! I was being sarcastic. One dude there called me back and argued how he could “have pills shipped today, immediately, at a deep discount”. Apparently, he wants to prove it to me that they are “100% legitimate”. A desperate scammer named “Tom”!
The most infuriating aspect is that many impoverished, underinsured and elderly or disabled people do fall for this scam… In the best case scenario, these folks get fake/placebo pills that don’t work. In the worst case, they either get charged thousands of dollars on their CCs, or receive poisonous pills that damage their organs. The FDA and USPS OIG investigators routinely stop the flow of thousands of dangerous pills into the country every year… I am sure that it’s merely a tip of the iceberg and many of them still make it through to the end recipients… How terrible that our people are probably hurting and dying because of scams of this sort!
@CatMan - you mentioned that you have had quite a bit of experience with mail fraud, right? Have you ever dealt with things like fake pills?
The biggest concern I have is fentanyl is about the cheapest produced filler currently on earth.
I would like to bet any money on a substantial amount of technical guessology quantities of fentanyl being used as a basic pill filler, to give the feeling of the “quality medications” doing wonders.
All the while it is slowly causing addiction and killing unknowing people
The only ones that can do anything about this is the USPSIS. I don’t expect much to happen with them as I can’t get them to find 3 parcels 18th century coins (450 coins between the 3 parcels) that went missing between the sorting center and my post office. I hate to break it to people but the Postal Service Mgt and USPSIS don’t care about theft, drugs, or much of anything else. To make it easier to understand, after the ‘Manager’ said she would look into the missing parcels she notified USPSIS that it was resolved and all tracking info on their Informed Delivery web page disappeared exept for one that suddenly said delivered but actually wasn’t. I am friends with my carrier and he has told me about the horror story that the USPS actually is. (I quit 3 years ago after 23 years of pure hell)
I believe that proof of this needs to be sent to the DEA and they can get the USPSIS involved. You can also contact the USPSIS on their Facebook. I’m still sore about the missing coins because it is ongoing, as the 3rd batch is still in limbo somewhere and it is a waiting game. A recent video of the Post Master General childishly coving his ears while being questioned should explain everything else. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5032688-postmaster-general-louis-dejoy-congressional-hearing/
It is all good. Thank you for sharing this story! Here is a fun little story from me: I ordered some fragrances and high quality sunglasses online before the holiday. They are still showing as “processing at the regional USPS center”. It has been almost 2 weeks. I will be filing missing package complaint on the website of the USPS OIG, but I don’t think it will result in much. I know that the seller will ultimately refund me, but still. It is not just about the money. I really wanted to get those things for gifts to family and friends. Now I have to find something else. I bet you someone at USPS Regional Center probably stole my stuff!
Not to mention, I even had shampoos and shaving supplies mysteriously “missing in transit before”. Sounds like some USPS wonderful workers love the same things I like.
Such craziness with frequently missing packages makes me wonder: Do they even have cameras at the sorting and regional distribution centers? It seems to be a pattern that my stuff goes missing occasionally at these lovely facilities.
And don’t get me started on their damn union! I know some lazy, angry and useless grandmas and grandpas working at USPS and making a ton of money due to “seniority”, while younger, more energetic and educated workers get like $25 or less an hour. WTF? Dumb-ass concept! I know it is unrelated to our scam discussion, but still. Just bizarre!
Each of my parcels (3) contained 150 Tin Pitis coins from 18th century Palembang, Indonesia, so 450 coins are gone. There are thieves within the USPS and little is done in some areas to catch them. I am friends with my carrier, we both collect coins. He has been off duty every time this has happened, not to mention we have known each other since I was an employee, about 10 years.
I think most thefts happen at Regional Distribution Centers. I rarely, if ever, have an issue with my local post office. I had numerous issues with regional centers, though. For example, NY, IL, PA, CA and few other ones seem to routinely “lose or misplace” packages. Hmmm, an interesting coincidence that such “misplacement” tends to happen at big sorting centers… I think there are habitual thieves working there who get away with it. Wouldn’t be surprised if some supervisors and managers partake in thefts.
You named my state in there and parcels disappear between the sorting station and my Post Office. The manager claimed my parcel was in New York when tracking showed it made it to their PO and kept bouncing between that and their sorting center. The manager gave me a number to call and told me to figure it out myself. Her number went to a phone in NY that is never picked up and you cannot leave a message as VM is always full. The manager will not take my calls nor return them though I have always been respectful to her. I believe she is covering up crimes for her friends as I saw when I worked for the Post Office (different location but same group of managers). I hope things start to change after Jan 21 when things get interesting in my area. Anyone watching the news knows what is planned for my area as many will be arrested, gang members and others. I have that number if anyone wants it, I couldn’t give 2 sh*ts if someone calls it because I don’t expect it to be a manned phone at any time. It’s probably sitting in a room by itself covered in dust. 718-321-5515
