Got same message as above 2 weeks ago. Couldn't tell If he said deputy "Cook" or "Kirk". called back, & was told I'd failed to show for federal "Grand Jury" duty & that 2 warrants had been issued for my arrest. He had personal info about me. Told him I'd received no notice re jury duty & was told I would need to come downtown that evening to JSO with $1500 ($750 each warrant, failure to appear & contempt of court) to do a handwriting analysis to clear my name. If I was cleared I would get my money back. Told me I needed to stay on the phone with him on "secured line" until I arrived at JSO, 301 E. Bay Street. I was then told I would need to go to Winn Dixie at 1531 Monument Road & buy 3 Green Dot money packs for $500 each??? I called JSO from land line & was informed it WAS A SCAM, but until I was told to purchase the "green dot cards" & where to be purchase them, I was VERY concerned & came close to getting ripped off. Sounded very legit & well mannered... plus what would've happened when I went to Winn Dixie? Guess I wouldn't been held up or worse? Hope he's caught. Was a very frightening experience.
