Chesapeake, VA Sheriff’s Office warning of phone scheme targeting sex offenders
These phone scams targeting people on the registry have been discussed many times at our website. Very little seems to be done by law enforcement throughout the state of Florida, but fortunately that is not true everywhere in our country.
We recently saw the Pennsylvania State Police warn registrants about a scam, something FDLE does not do and does not seem to care to do.
Now in Chesapeake, VA, the sheriff’s office is warning about a phone scam targeting registrants, involving people who are impersonating law enforcement officers. Just as important, the sheriff’s office is telling anyone who receives one of these calls to hang up and call the CSO directly. It appears that the Chesapeake sheriff would like to catch these impostors.
One of our members recently pointed out on a post, dealing with another scam, that some Florida sheriffs’ offices might not want to be bothered investigating these scams, but knowing that the caller is impersonating a law enforcement officer might make them more likely to pursue the case.
One of our members said that Duval County is at least putting up warning signs for people to see when they are forced to come in for registration. Please let us know if you are aware of other counties in Florida that are trying to warn people of these scams, or better yet, if they are trying to catch these scammers.

Here’s a thought: None of us would be targets of this scam if it weren’t for being on the Registry. This “civil regulatory scheme is government doxxing, enabling scammers to target us. 😡
Can we sue the government for enabling this??
The purpose of the Oppression Lists is to exclude, ostracize, and segregate. That is literally the point. I don’t know why they even bother lying that it is for public safety or protecting children. Of course it isn’t.
Once big government forces gun offenders to live a half a mile from schools and forces them into homelessness, then we’ll consider if they are still lying or not.

Not long ago, I got a call saying I didn’t appear to give another DNA sample… a warrent was issued… $5,000 bond was needed… I said I would go get the “needed” funds but they wanted me to stay on “the line”… I did… I muted the mic and grabbed my better-half… we went to the sheriff’s office a half mile away… at first they said they couldn’t do anything about it and told me to simply hang up… I said, “He’s pretending to be Officer M—y”, which actually did work there… phone calls were made and a detective came out and got the phone number… I could hear the guy, but he couldn’t hear us… he asked if I was still there and I unmuted the mic and said yes, and then muted it again… the detective asked me in surprise, “is that him?” and I nodded yes… he said “DON’T HANG UP ON HIM!” and left… every now and then I would unmute and tell the guy I was working on the purchases and to stand by, then remute… after a short time the detective came out and told me the guy hung up… checking my phone, sure nuff… seeing my puzzled look, he continued saying, “we got the guy”… apparently he saw the police at his place and hung without me knowing it… he denied it, of course, until an officer dialed his number and his phone rang. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Later I found out he was “a friend” of the REAL Officer M—y…
