Default Customs called my PO box

SO I have several PO box to receive packages.

one of the P.O box received too many packages.

the customs called my P.O box store.( DHL delivery guy told me),

asked the p.O box store what I had been ordering.

they are concerned about the security.Has anybody had this kind of experience?

will they come to your house and knock on the door?

I was very nervous when the DHL guy told me.

The fact that they were interested enough to call the place where you have your deliveries made should tell you something. Assuming you used your real information to open all of your PO Boxes, they can go to the USPS and get a list of all of them. They can then cross reference at least SOME of your shipments.

If the items you are ordering are legitimate, then you have nothing to worry about. If you are dealing in phakes, I would stop immediately.

Customs does not routinely make these calls. So, they must suspect SOMETHING is up.

It IS possible. How LIKELY that is, I don't know. CBP/ICE do investigate and bust people these days. It used to be mainly the FBI, but that has changed.

The reason I know this is from reading news stories about people arrested for such activity. I have no insider knowledge of CBP/ICE.

Unfortunately none of us work for any of these Agencies so we don't know but you should be very careful on what you have in your home and stop importing whatever your ordering.
