So, I got a phone call from the FIB yesterday...(Vanity, kind of, but it really happened!)

P.S. Don’t even tell then “I don’t know”. That can be used against you.

Screw that phone record stuff. Without my lawyer present I’m not talking to them. They are lying bastards. They can say you did something when your phone was off.

If the FBI wants to talk to you, they will come and kick down your door like they did to Roger Stone.

Apparently no one on this thread has clicked on the link which is supposed to take you to the complete story.

That link goes to a web site reputed to be the FBI web page. There is nothing on that page referencing the subject of this thread.

1994.

Huge amount of time difference.

I was a good guy in DC back then.

I was visited by 2 burly FBI agents at my work place office. It turned out one of the agents attended same university as me, so we talked Hawkeye football. It was just a routine visit to double check my immigration status.

The FBI generally doesn’t call. They come to your door, even if it’s for something routine and you aren’t even in any trouble.

ALWAYS be very wary of unsolicited phone calls and emails.

I got a really strange call 5 days ago, from Newcastle. It looked like a foreign number, so I searched for Newcastle, and it came back “Newcastle upon Tyne”, in the far NE part of England. I did not answer it. The number had an extra digit, 62 1 4955 5XXX. I tried a couple of times to do a reverse search, but couldn’t find an international service to do that.

Might have been Bernie Taupin.

And a second cousin works the pits in Newcastle on Tyne
And he don't care if it rains outside, there's coal dust on his mind
It's dirty work in Manchester but the crew gets paid its gelt
Bang on the bell on Friday
You buy a little something for yourself

And the van that comes around weekends selling fancy city things
Sold by the man in the trilby hat and his whiskers spread like wings
You can hear him sing
Oh, you can hear him sing

Can I put you on? People, can I put you on?
Tell you that I love you, people
Sing a salesman's song and put you on....

Maybe you are being looked into because you didn’t renew your cars extended warranty.

Never speak to federal agents of any flavor unless your attorney is present. Insist on recording any conversation. They won’t speak to you if you so insist unless they arrest you first, then, of course, insist on the same. Waive nothing, clearly articulate that you wont speak w/o an attorney and then shut up. Everything you say will be used against you if they want it to. Name address and nothing more.

Even if you are innocent, especially uf you are guilty and we all are ( in their pov).

I don’t think the ‘fIB’ calls anyone on the telephone - unless one actually DOES work for them.

Please note that the FBI does not call or e-mail people to demand money or threaten arrest.

They do that in person.

There are probably all sorts of ‘alphabet’ types on FR all the time - and ever since the beginning.

I had to call the FBI when I worked in the mainstream media a lot of weekend calls. Someone called me back that’s for sure.

Most spammers use exchanges that match your phone number’s area code. Now how they could use your own number is a mystery

Understand. The only first hand experience I’ve ever had with them.
