Had a voicemail from a gentleman with a heavy foreign accent identifying himself as Matthew Jones, badge #8947, from St. Charles County [unintelligible words]. He said a complaint was filed against me on November 8th and instructed me to call a Michael Black with the Internal Revenue Service and left a number of 202-864-1673.
An internet search of the phone number turned up Harvester Police Department (but not entirely legit - well, played scammer...)
I called the St. Charles County Police Department and they confirmed they have no officer by that name and that is not one of their badge numbers. They also confirmed they will NEVER contact a citizen on behalf of a federal agency.
