Very abusive scammers
@drwat#139875 Yes, for sure. And they are not answering on Bob but only on my burners and TextNow. The guy I talked to several times was a foul mouthed nasty person. I feel sorry for his mother. : 0
Long rings, but always answer
@JusticeinTexas#139876 I got through with a number from Rowlett Texas. These guys are pretty clumsy at best, and haven’t quite figured out the script.
Initial screen was by, get this, a Ms. Wendy Williams! (badge ID US9572)! She went through the usual stuff, but wouldn't give me her name? She said she would when she was asking for my info, but when I asked for it, she would just say "Sir, please... I will explain each and every thing" and then kept on going with the script. Usual stuff... 6 days ago the 2013 Toyota was found, rented under two different addresses, one with the 22 pounds of cocaine, etc... one twist, apparently the US Postal Service is now involved because they noticed multiple change of address requests for me in a short period of time - so they put Postal Inspector Damien Hampton on the case 6 days ago! Anyway, she left out a bunch of stuff, and didn't even give me a case number. But I got past her and passed on to the senior DEA official finally.
So a Mr. Preston Grubbs got on the line (never gave me his badge #) and asked for a case number... well, the dumb bimbo didn't give me one, so he had to go find out the info for himself. We started down the usual path of gathering all my information for the 'verification' form that he needs to submit to the court house. He stumbled a lot on this and kept asking for me to repeat stuff. It was rather painful listening to him struggle trying to sound authoritative but failing so badly. Still fun though, in a weird kind of way.
Then I think he pulled a new trick and tried to call my number on another line. He asked if I was receiving a call, which confused me at first. I told him that this was the first call I had received about this, and he said no, I should be receiving a call from the Treasury Department. What happened next is kind of fuzzy as it went by really quick (I really need to start recording these things!), but it was something to the effect that he wound up saying that if I have any questions, I could call them directly. I believe he figured out I was baiting him at this point, but I'm not sure.
So I said "Screw that, I'll call my buddies at the DEA and let them tell me what the hell is going on". He acted surprised, and asked who I knew at the DEA. Told him I retired from there and worked on K street in DC for almost 20 years. Then I asked him "Do you know Jack O'Neil, director of the Southern Division of the DEA"? What ensued was priceless - he responded "No, Mr. O'neil does not work for the southern division of the DEA, he works for the northern division"! I about fell over in my chair. I told him that he was mistaken, and that Texas was part of the Southern Division and he should know that, so now "I'm starting to get suspicious that you don't really work for the DEA". He said yes, yes he works for the DEA, but the El Paso office, not the Houston office which is part of the Northern Division! Wow... "WTF? Are you saying that TEXAS, a southern state, is part of the Northern Division of the DEA - are you F'ing stupid. The Southern Division includes ALL of Texas, and other southern state like Florida, Alabama, and so on - Now I'm convinced, you are a low life scum bag scammer trying to rip me off".
He kept trying to play the part and telling me that the cops are coming to my door in the next 10 minutes. I told him he had shit for brains and didn't even know my address, unless he was going to send them to one of his made up ones. The cursing back and forth kept up for a good while, like maybe 10 minutes or so. Eventually, he had enough abuse and hung up. Yup - this was a pretty darn fun one!
@Otis#139927 Preston Grubbs? Bwahahaha! I just did one where I was a widow pregnant with a 9 year old son. This guy was a piece of work. He said my father did it. I started crying and told him my father died of cancer. He then tried to be nice. He was a nasty little man for sure. Good job on you!
@JusticeinTexas#139929 LOL - just to twist the knife a little bit more, I called them back and the phone was answered by a Benjamin Albert (think that is what he said). I asked for Mr. Grubbs. The guy asked my name and why I wanted to speak with him. I told him it was personal and confidential and would only take a minute. He kept asking why, and I kept pushing back. Finally, I asked him his name and then “Ok, let me get this straight, you are refusing to let me speak with Mr. Grubbs, correct?”. He asked for my case number, and I told him that neither Ms. Williams or Mr. Grubbs gave me one. He asked for my zip code, and then said hold the line and put me on hold.
He got back on and said the neither one of them wanted to speak with me, and again asked why I wanted to talk with him. So I told him "Well, he said he was sending the cops over to my house within 10 minutes, and it's been like over a half hour now, so I was just wondering where they are? I have milk and cookies waiting for them, but I need to leave in a little bit so I can't sit around waiting for them all day. I just wanted to make sure he called them and that they are on their way". He made an audible grumble and hung up ;-)
@Otis#139935 I do the milk and cookies thing too. I did my hispanic thing with a really sweet voice one time and the guy said I was going to jail. I said could I be in prison with my husband? The drug dealing biker? He tried to explain why men and women are in separate prisons like I did not know and then I cried. He told me feds were coming when I asked if he was. I said great because i love men in uniform could they handcuff me because I have not been laid in months. I am bad. If you look way back in my profile you will find the call from last year.
I called them today and found out that I had baited them yesterday too but their number was different
The “senior” scammer “Criston Grubbs” took over the "case but he did not recognize me. Junio Windy Williams (yes Windy)
They told me Post Master “Damion Hampton” was suspicious about me
Seems the male "Criston Grubbs" had eastern India scent fro Orissa state or Assam state

@drwat#140000 How the hell do you say his name, Criston Grubbs. Its not enough they can’t say some names properly, they also pick those names as their own., I tried like 6 pronunciations of Criston until I got to him.
@vadim#140001 His accent was that of a person of eastern Indian state of Orissa (Odisha) or Assam. A bit hard to grasp.

Hell, I wrote it down and I believe I even had him spell it, and I got "Preston", not Criston - unless he decided to change it after I got done with him. Yes, his accent was very hard to understand at times!
Preston makes more sense. Could not understand him.
I had to write it down, it was Criston, however, it seems to have been something temporary. I even spelled out Criston to his other scamchods, but they didn’t know who it was until I gave them the last name “Grubbs.”
