If there is no message, I move on. If there is a message and it has something to do with the registry, I call the sheriff’s office for confirmation. Almost every time, they tell me it is a scam.
(Blocking their # doesn’t help because the phone # is fake as well and most likely a burner phone so the police cannot even trace them)

I have a dedicated deputy and if anything was going on, he would tell me. I feel sorry for those who fall for it. When I got contacted and told him I would meet his at my sheriff’s office, he got mad and said he would arrest me. I said ok, let’s meet with my dedicated registry deputy and see what he has to say. After two attempts he then somehow was able to contact my parents.

Luckily my Dad called me and asked what the Hell was going on and I told him it was a scam and sorry that he had to be involved in it but I do not know how he got either of our phone numbers, as both were unlisted. Makes you wonder if someone in the sheriff’s office was in on it as there was way too much information, they knew that was not public information.
