[size=4][b][color=#FF0000][font=inherit]This is a Scam![/font][/color] [/b]I would like to make you aware so that you may not get into such situation. This has been very common these days. In general,
[/size][list]
[*][size=4]A person would generally not receive a call from 911, unless you called 911 prior to you receiving the call.[/size]
[*][size=4]Any USCIS notices would be sent by mail, but not through phone conversation.[/size]
[*][size=4]When a person threatens you, do not panic, especially in this scenario.[/size]
[*][size=4]Ask additional information to the caller and then decide on the situation.[/size]
[*][size=4]The USCIS personnel would never ask you to transfer money using any money transfer methods or through cards, nor would never call you and talk for hours.[/size]

[font=inherit][b]Today, I got call from number 202-697-9674 . This seems to be some VoIP number in DC. This person told his name is Mike Coxhad and he is from department of homeland security. He then told me I did not update my aliens number. He asked me to deposit some money into American high commission, New Delhi in India. I said NO. He then asked me to send the money through Western Union money transfer. I told him, can I send the cheque and he hang up. [/b][/font]
[font=inherit][b]The same has happened to me..a person called david beck called me saying hes from the USCIS and said my alien number is not updated..i fell for the scam and transferred $1715 through western union..then i realized it was a scam.it was too late.the number i got a cal from is 484-833-9002.People please beware..no govt. Official will ask to pay the money immediately and never through western union. [/b](source: complaintwire.org)[/font][/size][/indent]
