Scam artist attempting to get personal information by pretending to be a Lt. Donaldson with the Ector County Sheriff's Department - they asked for someone who passed away over a year ago. When asked what the call was about they first said they weren't at liberty to say. When asked what kind of scam they were trying to run and given the 3rd degree they then said they were trying to update the 911 system information. WTF? First, Donaldson is the sheriff, not a Lt; and ECSO doesn't have a Lt Donaldson. Second, ECSO confirmed they don't update the 911 system which I was already pretty well knew but wanted verified. Third, since when is updating an emergency system so confidential that you're not at liberty to say that's what you're doing up front. Phone # was probably spoofed as I can't imagine anyone being so stupid as to use their real wireless phone # when committing a 3rd degree felony in Texas by impersonating a peace officer.
