Scam - I Have Warrants For Arrest

[oliver2-44 11,546]

Well things finally caught up with me and I got a call from a County Sheriffs Deputy yesterday (fake)

All thought they missed the big items, (Ha), and just said the judge fined me and sent warrants since I didn't report to Federal Jury Duty Tuesday.  (fake)

Had a real official mannerism. 

Had my name, address, garbled a Drivers License number (wouldn't repeat it)  He did a bunch of official sounding jaw jacking and fake sheriff radio background noises.  

Claimed to be Sheriffs Deputy, said he could put me in touch with a bond company over the phone to get an immediate bond, pay with credit card loan, so I don't get picked up and hauled in tonight.

Too many little things seemed fake so I hung up.

I texted the local Sheriffs office, yep scam they are well aware of but calls are not trace able. 

 

I got the same call twice today. (interesting the call came in as "Maybe (wife's name) each time

So I started having fun wasting his time. 

Asked him if he knew my cousin in County Jail there or, my brother Bill from another mother!  (he didn't catch that one)

I told him I could trade him some good tractor parts, but that they probable would never bond me since I hung around online with the Tractor Mafia

(I should get a Mafia T shirt for that one) and on and on.

I finally asked him what $ cut he got for "arranging" the bond and he hung up.

 

O the crafty crap that is out there these days.

Trina's mom has been retired and on SS for a couple decades. 

She's below the income level that's required to pay taxes. 

 

A couple years ago she got a call saying that "the cops" were on the way over. 

 

Cops? Really? We couldn't find a more official descriptor?

Yup.  Got a call from a Fraud Detection Center about my bank account. Sounded fake so I hung up. Couple days later my card stops working. Went into the bank and checked why. Somebody somehow got my bankcard # last week. They tried to spend 4 grand at a bicycle place. The bank saw it and shut the account down. I'm glad all it took was getting a new card.
