@Drwat It seems its the same folks that you stumbled upon a while ago, same East West Bank in CA, another chinese foreign student name/bank holder.

They fell for the same trick, again and again.

Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Ok, recordings finally uploaded, filing IC3 FBI complaint as well as email to the relevant bank.

Here is part 1 of this 3 hour journey. The recording starts a few minutes after the start of the call. I “verify” my information and obtain their info. The volume of their end of the call is weak.

Part 2 of the recording is a bit more fun. I finally park my 1972 VW Beetle in front of the bank. The "officer" proceeds to give me the wire transfer info, after which I try to figure out how to tell the bank the 60K$ I need to wire to this foreign exchange student name is actually to verify my identity for the government. They rage mildly then quit,

Ok, IC3 and bank email sent, finally.

Excellent. I am reviewing in detail.

Seems the same Gujarat (Surat in my previous notes). Vadodara city (old name Baroda) is banking/ business hub in Gujarat. Rajkot is 5 hours drive towards west from Vadodara. Surat is towards south from Vadodara (Baroda).

One group of scammers may have 2-3 locations (even four). Each may have its own variation of script. South border of Washington state, Georgia, New York and Maryland

@drwat#164766 Ya, these geniuses were using South border of WA state. Which is funny, the fake identity I was using was from WA. I align all of my IDs with the number I use. So Alaska phone number -> alaska address, SSN, etc. Its way easier this way.

@vadim#164803 I do the same. Today’s numbers (so far) from these scammers are:

(240) 332-3308 (229) 506-7813 (706) 719-0352

@drwat#164806 none of these number active

202 866rings stays dial

Same East West Bank 322070381 routing number
322070381

(240) 332-3308 says number you called is under investigation for fraudulent activities. YEEEEEES! HAHA
