I got the same call today but it didn't show up as 911 it showed up as the phone # itself and I got the same voicemail as everyone else that if I didn't call back in a timely manner I would be arrested. So I called back & they were claiming I had taken out an online payday advance and I was being charged with 3 class 3 felonies and it scared me to death as well. So I called my bank & they went back to when I had opened my account & looked all through it & I had never gotten a direct deposit payday loan, so I called my lawyer and was told right then that it was a SCAM & not to give them any information or anything she said they do not have any real information they are just trying to get your credit card or debit card information..
I received a cell call asking for my wife. The caller said she was Deputy Watson of the Garden Grove Sheriff’s Department. She said my wife was in trouble and had a warrant out for her arrest! News to me!
The caller ID showed 911!
I was suspicious from the start. Since when do deputies call husbands that there is an arrest warrant for their wife?
I also know Garden Grove has a Police Department! I pointed this out and she had no idea of the difference and no explanation.
She told me to have my wife call the Federal State Bureau of New Jersey, 201-942-2840. and to ask for Federal Verifications, Michelle Morris ext. 1010.
I asked for her badge number and department's phone number. Badge #91455, and phone #.
I called the GG Police Department, turned out to be the same number she gave me, and was pleased to actually speak to a communications operator who informed me they don't have deputies in their department! I asked her if there was a Watson in the department, only to find out there was a Lt. Watson, and he would not address himself a deputy.
I will now report this to my city police. This is fraud! It is also illegal to impersonate a law enforcement officer.
This person is operating outside the law with total disregards to any person's legal rights!
Yes, Miss Violet Watson just called me today and I asked her what it was regarding and she even gave me an email address for myself that I do not use publicly. She read all the legal mumbo jumbo and when she mentioned the Sheriff's Department, I told her that I would be giving her name address and phone number to the FTC. She boldly told me that she was not concerned and I told her then, no problem. She asked me if I had a criminal attorney and I asked her if she had one. I told her to not call my office again.
I just got a call from Violet Watson at ext 1717 she would not tell me what its in regards to she said shes from the New Jersey Federal Bureau if I didnt call her back by 3:00 she will turn it over to the State Sheriffs dept..I have NEVER been to New Jersey. I called back and she was out(after being on hold for 10 mins) and she would call me back in 30 mins that was over an hour ago! SCAMMERS
I got a call from Ms. Watson on Friday while at a wedding so it went to voice mail and she left a message saying there was a legal complaint against me. She said she was with the Federal State Bureau of New Jersey and I needed to call her back right away to avoid being arrested. I called back because I was confused the first time it went to voice mail the second time I called back a guy answered and I asked for ex. 1717 she came on the phone and wanted me to verifiy my information. I told her that I would not give any information she called me. She started to get upset and said that I took out a payday loan didnt pay it back so they were charging me with like four different charges, when I still wouldn't give out my information or settle with her she said that the Anoka County Sheriff would arrest me on Monday. I said I didn't do anything wrong so I will take my chances. Today I called the police department and made a report about the call.
