Cyber Crime Investigation Scam or “Ricky Clarke” strikes again!
Calls threatening arrests. Sends absurd text messages . Claims to be with the “Cyber Crimes something-or-another” of either New York or Texas.
Some have reported an overseas accent on some of the calls. Others have reported an Australian sort of accent.
Basically a straight-out extortion ring. Ignore and block any calls received from this number or the parties listed below.
