Just received a call from "David Cooper" who works for the California Police Department. My caller ID read "911". I was really bored today so I wasted about 45 minutes of his time playing victim. I tried my hardest to get him to give me an address where I could send him a payment but he would not do it. He just wanted to receive funds through Western Union, Money Gram, etc... As silly as all this sounds, he has committed a number of felonies which is very serious. Hope someone can get him.
These people are a joke. Throwing around "officer" Mark Johnson. They are trying to scam my 80+ yr old grandmother. The person who called claimed to be "officer" Kevin Rogers (with a heavy Indian accent. I had to listen to the message several times to understand what he was saying. "Hi this message in intended for ..... This is Officer Kevin Rogers (likely a lie) calling you from (very garbled sounds like) Sheriff Dept (I contacted our local Sheriff Dept and there are no officer's by the name of Kevin Rogers, that work there)(Lie)The reason I call you is because we have received an authorized letter warrant on your social security number, from an officer named Mark Johnson who is working with the Bureau of Scam Investigation Department. So the very second you receive this message I want to get in touch with the "Officer" Mark Johnson on his number 210-390-7810 and see what's going on because if I was you ...(could not understand this part of his message) ...cause then I will have to send my investigation team with an authorized arrest warrant to arrest you on these charges (never said what the "charges" were). SO now if you had the option you can cancel it yourself. My local office our local office is Officer Mark Johnson who made a complaint in your name. The choice is yours. Once again this is Officer (long pause) Kevin Rogers Best of luck to you with this legal case file." He sounded like he was reading from a script. But this was just so far fetched. First off my 80+ yr old grandmother does not have any outstanding loans or bills. We have checked with the credit bureaus for anything unusual and there is nothing that is not supposed to be there. We checked with our local Sheriff's department and one there are no outstanding warrants locally or nationally. Plus we have filed complaint with the FTC. This is nothing more then a scare tactics scam. Beware.
Just got the same call but im no dummy not the first time this has happened to me as I'm from another State back in the Midwest my caller ID displayed out f the area 911 so I answered and was told the same thing as you listed in your response he told me that he was Deputy David Brown with the CHP and went on as you explained and told me that I needed to contact Officer Peter Black at 210-390-7810 ASAP and asked if I could confirm my Social Security # and what I had done for this warrant to be issued against my SS# I first of all knowing being from a law enforcement family that they dont ever call to tell you that you have a warrant for your arrest and second Sheriffs only have deputy's not the CHP and so I went on to tell him that I have been in a nursing home for ten years and haven't been no where so called officer Brown got very nervous and lost for words all he could say was oh my good bye and hung up...laughed so hard afterwards...I love these calls and makinging them feel in control then busting their bubble that the gig is up and I just wasted your time and saving someone else just for that moment....'THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHY OUR UNITED STATED GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT ALLOW OVERSEAS CALL CENTERS TO HAVE AND PERSONAL INFORMATION ON UNITED STATES CITIZENS ALL OVERSEAS CALL CENTERS SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN AND ONLY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TECH OR PRODUCT SUPPORT THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION...SO FAR I HAVE HAD ABOUT 8 OF THESE CALLS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS AND ALL HAVE HAD AND INDIA (INDIAN) ACCENT"
