Firstly, if you're unsure it's legit, either:
1. Call the FBI office and report it.
or
2. Do what I did when I got a fraud email from the bank I was with at the time.
Take a print out of the email to your local police department (in my case I took it to a local location of the bank itself) and have them look into it.
The email I'd received said that my online banking account was locked due to suspicious activity/login attempts.
No one at the bank recognized the email and an account assistant (or whatever they're called, those who open new accounts for new customers) had me log in on the computer at her desk to confirm that my account was NOT locked.
The email had looked very authentic though, it had their logo and copyright.
As for how to tell your story, can you not tell it the way you did here, in the OP? That sounded pretty decent. There are at least two suspicious factors in that telling:
1. That the call came in the middle of the night
2. That you're receiving mags you didn't subscribe to.
Are you still getting any mags? If so you can give the FBI the return address on the last ones you received.
Or give them the mags themselves and they can take fingerprints.
If the FBI needed names and/or addresses to track someone, they wouldn't be very efficient.
