I got a call just a short time ago from this number, 281-377-5921 and the phone ID just read, "Houston, TX". The caller did not give his name.
He said he was a courier for Nationwide Couriers. I immediately got the feeling that this was not right.
He asked me if I was going to be home tomorrow between 12 and 3. He told me he needed 2 forms of photo ID and a witness! I do not have TWO forms of photo ID.
When I asked him what this was about, he told me he was just a courier and did not know what it was. I said the package must have a return address and he just spoke over me saying that I had to have 2 forms of photo ID and a witness ready between 12 and 3 tomorrow.
In case I need to change the appointment, he gave me this phone number, 855-580-5797 and a reference number to use.
I do not like the idea of a stranger coming to my house and getting any kind of info on or from me with nothing more than a packet of faux papers. After reading a few of the responses on this site about possibly being served, I called our county offices to ask them how the sent papers to people for any reason and they told me if it was a legal matter they send a sheriff's deputy or officer of the court. Any other matter they send via registered mail.
What can we do to protect ourselves from things like this? Even law enforcement, it seems, cannot do anything about it.
