I live in MN and have been getting calls stating that, “I need to come in to verify my papers and ensure I am a legit citizen”… I get these calls numerous times a day, starts in English and then goes strait to Mandarin and I don’t even fucking speak that! (9-10 a day).
I was born here by an American woman, who was also BORN here and a dad who came here LEGALLY with a SPONSOR and an American citizen and still am getting these bogus ass calls! I speak Cantonese and Spanish on top of English so hopefully they would send me back to my dads fam in South Vietnam but if not, I would be killed in north Vietnam due to my name and the war… so lovely… (back in the day I would be killed now I would just be shunned).
I am about to hop the boarder and try to get in to see what happens and then just live in Canada, I basically am already there here in MN! Haha!
I lived a short time in NY and I got a mobile with a phone number with a Flushing area number (lots of people with Asian descent live there). Literally the first day I start receiving robocalls in Chinese, I recorded it and let a Chinese listen the message. It said there’s a problem with my documentation and I have to call a number as soon as possible or face consequences. I was told this is a scam, they try to get money to fix a non existent issue.
You can access the gov link seen in the screenshot and see it’s legit from the US gov rather than a common scammer: https://www.dhs.gov/cbphome.
Ofc the current US gov are some of the most prolific grifters that country has ever seen, so your point still stands that these people will likely be scammed… They’ll just likely end up thrown into a concentration camp rather than deported on a commercial flight with $1,000 as promised.

Wepl yes, you’re a ‘citizen’, but are you a citizen? What you say about family in vietnam really suggests otherwise.
My great great granrparents came to the US from Germany and Canada, time to go!
Okay but what’s the pantone number for your skin tone?
Here, lemme get my skull calipers…
I think it’s a scam targeting specific areas
