Received a call from this # at a former residence I used to live at. The woman identified herself as Mary Anderson with the Better Business Bureau and said she was calling from Washington (this was at 8:30pm...). The callback number she gave (876-399-3096) was different than what showed up on the caller ID (876-446-8692). Feels like a scam or something weird to me, not going to call them back...

Probably this scam - The reference to UPS would imply a shipment of some sort.
FDA Warn Consumers About Phone Scam to Collect Fake Fines
7 Jan 2010
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning the public about criminals posing as FDA special agents and other law enforcement personnel as part of an international extortion scam.
The criminals call the victims -- who in most cases previously purchased drugs over the Internet or via "telepharmacies" -- and identify themselves as FDA special agents or other law enforcement officials.
The criminals inform the victims that purchasing drugs over the Internet or the telephone is illegal, and that law enforcement action will be pursued unless a fine or fee ranging from $100 to $250,000 is paid. Victims often also have fraudulent transactions placed against their credit cards.
The criminals always request the money be sent by wire transfer to a designated location, usually in the Dominican Republic. If victims refuse to send money, they are often threatened with a search of their property, arrest, deportation, physical harm, and or incarceration.
Anyone receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be an FDA or other law enforcement official who is seeking money to settle a law enforcement action for the illegal purchase of drugs over the Internet should refuse the demand and call the FDA?s Office of Criminal Investigations Metro Washington Field Office at (800) 521-5783 to report the crime.
FDA special agents and other law enforcement officials are not authorized to impose or collect criminal fines. Only a court can take such action, with fines payable to the U.S. Treasury.

I received a message on my answer machine that I need to call
UPS and that is urgent. I then decided to find out where the area code was from by
doing a search on Google. I saw that the call was from Jamaica. I figured it could be some sort of
scam at this point, and ended up here giving my report of this call. I never did return the call.
