I had this incident today , such a fake call trying to make it sound real and pranking it from 911 . This john schmaker guy is an idiot asking me to pay 2700$ on phone or 27,000 later ...
They left a massage on home phone, I called the number to they left and an indian man with a thick accent answered as I started question I ng him, he srarted to get really frustrated. I told him that, I will be reporting him and to never call my house again..oh and he used the name max johnson
Got a call from 911 and my wife picked up the call.the person said he is from sheriff office and that I committed some federal crime this morning.Left a message with my wife asking me to call the number 202-470-6070.I googled for this number and it directed me to this site mentioning it is a fake call.
Thanks everyone for educating about the scam.
I got a call from this number from this John Shumaker. Before that I got a call from the Middelesex Country Sheriff Dept that I need to contact this guy. Since I was in a place I couldnt do any internet search I got scared and paid $ 500 through Greenpak government card. Looks like I am scammed and no way to get back this hard earned money.
The Sheriff Dept's call came from 911 and that is how I got conned. Be careful.
got a call today afternoon from some Officer James Conner - Fulton County Police Department - 734 678-9000. He said there is a federal complaint registered against me and I should call some number. I asked him his details once again and also asked why is called ID shows MI number if he is from Fulton County (Georgia). So he mentioned that we traced you from Michigan!!!! OMG I got so dam scared...noted down the number of officer Michael Black 202 678 1200. I immediately called my husband and he told me that this is fraud. But I didn't believe me and asked him to call this number....So my husband did it and while talking he was sure that this is fraud. After my husband hanged up, this guy called 3 times to me from 734 852 9985. Thank God my husband was aware of all fraud and scams!!!
My sister got the same exact "warrant for your arrest" call today. Only they asked for me. Obvious to me it was a scam. I never called back, and neither should any of you . If anything, if you are bored, string them along for a while. That is the only real way a non- enforcement type can disrupt the scam..minute by minute until they deem it not worth it to carry on...
