Ok, this post might be flagged and not posted as vulgar, but it has some humor too.

I got a call like this, the guy said “This is detective so and so and I am looking for you because you failed to show up to provide a DNA sample”. I had heard about these calls happening, and I knew I had no outstanding DNA requirement, Florida had already ex-facto demanded it long ago.

Took a line from the movie The Exorcist and said “I was expecting your call”, he said “really”. I said “yes and the reason I could not make it is because I was busy watching your mother s*** c***s in hell”. They hung up and I never heard from them again.

that is a tv fallacy. Once a trace is initiated by authorities, a hang up does not disconnect the trace. Your story is not believable.

I would have loved being there if they could have arrested him .. πŸ˜‚]]> The article mentioned them posing as LEOs, but it didn’t say whether they were charged with that crime .. in some states, it can be a sentence of up to 10 additional years .. I have had two such phone calls .. The first one, I told him I’d have to get the money and I’d have to call him back .. I asked him if the caller ID was correct and he said it was .. Then I called my PO and my PO did 4-way call with him; my PO officer, me, the BC Sherrif’s Office, and then him .. What was REALLY FUNNY? The IDIOT actually used an actual officers name that was actually working in the office that day, and that my PO was buddies with .. My PO talked to the man while the officer started a trace on the call .. Unfortunately, the Deputy Sheriff spoke up and said who he was .. The next thing we heard was “click” .. SO, the man hung up before they could get a trace on him .. πŸ™„.. I would have loved being there if they could have arrested him .. πŸ˜‚
