It was not the local police who called you. Nor any other law enforcement officers, or the courts or the FBI.
Looks like Qwerty has helped you see how this scam works. Do that google search, you will find you are not alone!
Some of the stories given to the "marks", are just insane. In one version, Dad finds Daughters computer with all the evidence against you on it, and tells you he will destroy the computer, but you have to buy a new one for the underage girl.
So I got a call from police saying I exchanged nude pics with a minor and the father wants me to call him to work it out he now wants me to send money to shut off her phone is this a scam number is 8433252129
This is a popular scam right now. You did not happen to be on POF by any chance? Someone in SC and NC is working this same scam over and over from lots of numbers. Report this to the police.
I was on pof but why did my district police call me to give me his number .wouldn't a warrent be issued right away its just was scary so i called the guy who wants to have me pay to shut off her phone then i looked up this number and found a guy who was saying the same number contacted him
If you were told that the police called you, they spoofed the police phone number and are impersonating the police. Google 'underage girl scam' and you'll see how widespread this criminal extortion scam is.
So basically I'm freaking out over nothing and should block this number and never get on pof .I did do some research and feel I'm definitely getting scammed.it showed up as the district 4 phone number that's what freaked me out the most
