These guys have been calling me incessantly. After speaking at length with the first young man, he finally broke down and told me that it was a scam! I encouraged him to go to school. He said that he had already been to school and had graduated but couldn't find any other job. I told him that it was obvious that he was not happy doing that kind of work because he would have moved on to the next victim by then. I told him that if he found a job helping people rather than victimizing them, that he would feel better about himself and his family would be proud of him. He said that he knew I was right but he had to continue there until he could find something better. Waste of time though, of course, as the calls continue. The next call was from a woman who told me that she needed to speak with my husband about his pending arrest. I told her that thanks to the previous call, we had been alerted and my husband was already in jail. I told her how much I appreciated her kindness in informing us of the looming arrest and since I had to give all my money to the police, I had nothing left to give to her. She immediately hung up. Now I'm just getting non-stop voice mails from "Officer James Anderson".
I received two of these scam calls in the last hour. Guy's name and the message is exactly what others documented above. Although I was fairly certain it was a scam I am grateful that others have taken the time to post this information so that I could verify it!
I also received several threatening calls saying that a sheriff will be at my door in 30 minutes with a warrant out for my arrest and that I will not be able to work in the US for the next seven years! It was pretty upsetting. How does this type of thing go on? Something should be done to stop them.
