For those of you who receive these calls, please report them to your local authorities along with all pertinent information. Impersonating an officer is a crime.
Somebody called and left two messages on my home telephone on 9/27/13 that I needed to respond within two hours to a notarized arrest warrant or else I will be arrested. He spoke poor english with bad pronouciation, some words cut off, sounded like a male voice with spanish accent. I could not understand his reason for this. I have been through a similar experience sometime back. At that time I reported to the local police. They told me that it is difficult to locate these people and take action. They advised me to ignore their calls. Some of these people may even operate from outside the country!! I know yesterday's incident is a scam. I did not bother to call back. It is simply a nuisance. I hope law enforcing agencies will find a way to track them down and put an end to this, since they are using the names of the govt agencies for their scams. I came to learn that the senior citizens are targetted frequently.
I did receive a call (voice mail) from this character that I have to call the 202 number since I have a federal complaint against me. It is scary and threatening. I am a senior citizen and am shaking ever since I listened to this message. The caller had a heavy accent and was difficult to understand him. It was a threatening, cold voice. Can someone help me? How should I proceed. Thank you
