Okay, I'm at work right now (garage door shop) and there is people on there way her and are supposed to be here at 11:00 to pick up there doors. They're having them shipped to Africa and the card isn't working and the whole thing is belive to be a scam. My boss called the FBI and the police and then I had to call the poilce also to have a squad car sent here. I ended having to call 911 for the whole ordeal too. The 911 dispatch i don't think understood the whole deal. I'm not supposed to let the people who are coming to pick up the garage doors inside the shop. I'm kinda freaked out, I'm the only here right now too. What do i do?

I don't know what these guys look like or what there driving. We have random people coming in everyday too... How do i know when it is them?

Just lock the door and don't let anybody in. The small amount of business you may lose will not compare to your safety. Your boss needs to handle this himself. Good Luck

Have an officer in the building with you! if the FBI is on this, They are going to set up a "sting" opperation!!!! I dont thing it will be as bad as you think... The local PD should be there and have some undercover there as a worker!! If this is all true. and you have a car out side then you are going to have them scared away. So I dont think the PD should be parked out right in front!! may be you have a large garage? they can park in!!! Well I the situation is out of your hands and you have to just hope taht the Local PD and FBI, works with you to apprehend the perps!
Hope things work out!

by the way if the police are not there do as "sexy_lil.. says!!"
and one more thing if you work with FBI give them the credit card number! they can look in to this!!!!

Call 911 back, explain what is going on and that you are scared. Ask them to stay on the phone with you.
When someone gets there, the operator should be able to check for you to tell if it is the police. Don't open the door until you know!

Just stay calm and do as you would normally do. Let the authorities handle the rest; that's their responsibility. Don't put yourself in a position of risk. In fact, if these are really bad guys and you're alone there I'd consider locking the doors, consequences be damned. Good luck.

if your in contact with your boss, talk to him. this is a very serious situation. whatever you do don't let anyone in, and if you can put a sign on the door at the store saying closed

If you're serious, this is not the place to ask the questions.
But if not, here tons of fun: Press that red button that sounds loud sirens and speakers in the back of the shop that shouts: "SILENT ALARM ACTIVATED" at 120 decibels!!!!!! (making all hear it-should have seen it in "Simpsons" episode)

close your garage and the cops should usually be there within 4 to 5 minutes maximum, don't worry but be careful
