I got the same call from a Detective Mike Sanchez. (205) 540-6191. He told me to send him $250. From moneygram to Alabama. To a mellisa Rodthstien? He said he was in broward county florida? I sent the $250 because I didn't want to get in trouble. I'm going to get to the bottom of this!
I read the story, but the person that has been calling me is not saying anything about me owing a debt and his phone number appears to be from Birmingham, Al.
I also got a phone call from him today and i got a second number to call and you HAVE to type in the "1" then the area code or else the number will not work. I also looked up both number he gave me, one in birmingham AL while the other is in Monroe AL, a full 3 hours and 18 minutes apart. He also told me I have to work as a Confidential Informant for him for 2 weeks or im going to go to jail. He claims I spoke to a 13 year old and made inappropriate gestures towards her over an online chat. I wasn't even on when these events occured. I do not know what to do
He claims he is from Benton Conty Sheriff's Department. I live in Alabama and there is not a Benton county in Alabama. I have talked to local authorities and they said it is a scam. Another thing, if he is truly a "detective," then when he went to court his name would be on the court papers. Court papers are available to the public unless it is a youthful offender case. His name can't be found anywhere on the Internet, which it should be if he is being honest.
