Interesting scam. Almost got me..
A couple days ago i got a very convincing call from supposedly the Sheriffs dept that there was a warrant for my arrest for contempt of court for not showing up for jury duty. He had warrant numbers, a badge number and sounded very official. I told him I knew nothing about this. He said I had signed for a warrant. Not true. I was with Mj at the hospital that whole day. I said I'm coming down to the sheriff dept right now to settle this and see that signature. He said I would be arrested immediately. But I could avoid this if I put the fines, $3000 in an escrow account and they would settle it today. If I could secure the funds. At that point I became suspicious. I told him I would have to contact my bank and my attorney and call him back. He said I had 10 minutes and he would dispatch a deputy to arrest me. I hung up and called the sheriff. ITS A SCAM!!! Don't fall for it.
I called back. He answered with his fake Sargents name. I told him I had talked to the sheriff and he could kiss my ass. He said he was sending the deputies to arrest me. I said great. The state police will be here waiting.
