Which Law Enforcement Office to Call?

[CHIEF 5098]

So Mrs. CHIEF's company sells storage containers. Mrs. CHIEF would make a grade A private investigator. They have a questionable guy that just became a customer a couple of days ago. Here is the scam that she believes he is pulling:

1. Offers storage containers at half the going rate.

2. Has his customers put down 100% to get the "great rate".

3. Calls and gives her company credit card number of the scammer's client, for the down payment

4. Asks her company to deliver them to his yard in San Juan, Texas.

When the company gave her company three different credit card numbers that were from all over Texas on the first day, she saw a red flag, especially with the containers all going to the same location. The scammer said he had no scanner to print and sign POs, and to just bring the paperwork to his location, but was dodgy on where that was specifically. Mrs. CHIEF checked the reviews on his website, he was said to be a crook and credit card thief. Her company hasn't delivered anything, so they haven't really been harmed, but, consumers that are trusting this guy to deliver them a container, have been, and will be out a substantial financial sum.

This is over multiple counties, and the scammer is getting access to multiple credit card numbers hourly, and daily, so it needs to be snuffed out quickly. Is this a job for the FBI, each county's sheriffs department, a state level agency?

Awesome, she just happens to have a life long family friend that just became a Texas Ranger in her speed dial. She is pretty sure all the activity is within the state. She, and the customer service rep are giving the guy a little more rope to make sure the noose is big enough to hang himself.

Need to deliver one to the yard, and have him collect it. When all of a sudden, Walker comes sliding that dodge around the corner. Chases him down and maybe roundhouses him in the neck.  Cuff him to the roll bar and be back in time for dinner with Alex. 

[CHIEF 5098]

I'm pushing her pretty hard to get this done. There is nothing I hate worse than a thief, and that includes murderers. Murderers usually have a reason, unless they are a thief that murders.

This guy is trying to gain access to a shipping containers for human trafficking.  I know a group of guys that can help.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team

Dude, Walker comes flying out of the container boot first when he opens it up to inspect it. Then roundhouse him when he tries to get back up. Walker ain't gonna let this guy try to escape.

when you say shipping containers, is she meaning multi-modal or inter-modal?  It's a slight difference in the industry as far as billing but makes a big difference in how bodies are disposed of.

Bet he’s in more than just her speed dial.

Ask her how much for for a decent WWT 40’ high cube delivered to 75110?

Hey, while asking her, ask her about good options for sending cookies to my son and his roommates in college.
