This is a bullshit scam meant to frighten you and do something you shouldn't.

It's a friend spoofing the walmart number to troll the fuck out of the OP. While it is technically against the rules for gov. employees to view said documents, it literally has no teeth. The documents are all over the news.

I can assure you, it wasn't a friend of mine. None of my friends are smart enough to do something like that, let alone even understand that there's a blood-drinking, satanic, underground pedophile ring in their government.

If you don't have any friends capable of doing that...then Jaysus what are you doing investigating this? I'm not being mean but if you did indeed get a call it means you've made a mistake posting somewhere and you dribbled personal identifying information which someone is now trolling you with. Most of us on here would know how to do that to you. And it is far easier to identify people on the Internet than you can imagine. The chans excel at it. One little dribble and you're screwed.

You need to report this to the FBI not the local police. But trust me on this, the government is not going to spoof call you from a fake number and ask you to explain your innocence in a VM. You're being trolled. I hope you didn't actually say anything. There are caller scams now using recordings to get your voice and use it to "affirm" credit card transactions. I'm not trying to freak you out, but honestly the last thing you need to worry about is the gov.

You need to report it and put a watch on your personal information/credit cards if you have any.

To take immediate action go to ANY user account and sign out. DO NOT make any user accounts with ANY email address tied to you. Ever. Use Blur on FireFox to generate emails, but mostly never give email unless required. Neither Red dit nor voat require emails. Somehow you've led someone right to your door.

The Blur/abine email-blurring seems not at all trustworthy to me! All they do, is receiving the emails and forwarding them. So they are a middleman who can read every mail, that is used by their system.

IMO this is not good! Security must be done with less, not more middleman. If you don't want to receive spam, or give your main mail address out, just use an alias. Use SSL to encrypt the email traffic and use SMIME certificates or PGP to encrypt it from endpoint to endpoint.

Ah, if you only use blur to sign up for websites, what, exactly, are the getting?

In their terms they claim, that user passwords were stored locally and only the PWs of premium users, who use the syncronization feature would be transferred. But I don't trust any such companies. From a security point of view, it makes no sense, to go into the cloud. If you want security, you must stay out fo the cloud.

I would even trust Firefox's password manager more, than Abine. Why? Because they do not inform the user, that the best security can only be achieved OFFLINE, or at least with tools, that cannot connect to the net (blocked by firewall).

Just my 2 ct.

you must stay out fo the cloud.

yeah I don't use apps, the cloud, pw managers, nada.

I don't honestly know what to make of it. The normal procedure is to pastebin everything. If it was a lot of KP it could have been marked. This has proceeded outside normal chan boundaries. I'm going to remain cautious until proven otherwise. Even the police reports can be faked. What the person should do if truly anon is give a countdown then post it all due to police in action.
