USA Direct, Las Vegas, NV Almost scammed Las Vegas NV

I got a call this morning from an unknown number.  The man on the other end said he was from US Customs Service at Miami Airport.  He stated he had been sent a package 3 weeks ago and that notifications had been sent that I had this package there to respond to so they could forward it.  It was from USA Direct in Las Vegas.  He wanted to give me a tracking number to further investigate it so I could receive it.

I told him it was weird that a US package was sent to a customs office from a US business (red flag). I asked why would they send a package to Miami when my Florida address was no where near there.  (another red flag)  I asked how big was the package and he said it was an envelop.  I said I had not ordered anything from that company in or out of this country.

He said again, I could track the item and go from there but since it had been 3 weeks, time was up to keep it there. 

I told him to "refuse, send back to sender" and he hung up on me.

This had to be a phishing scam so I went to the computer and searched "USA Direct" and found this site. The complaint shown first was from back in 2011 so I thought I ought to share my experience and let people know that this is still alive and working whoever is gullible to fall for it.

BEWARE, NOW MORE THAN EVER!
