NEW Scam targeting registrants
Courtesy of our affiliates at Texas Voices, we are learning of a new scam targeting persons on the registry.
People are receiving letters in the mail with no return address, but personalized to them. The letter demands payment of money via bitcoin or they will notify all their neighbors of their status, their employers, their family members’ associates, church congregation, etc.
A copy of this letter can be found here:Extortion Letter
If you receive this letter, notify the FBI immediately! You can find your local FBI office here: https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us
We MUST take action and insist law enforcement prepare a report and follow through. Enough is enough!

Aloha, I want to thank you for making us aware of the phone scam that the person on the other end saying that we are not current with our registration and we have to report to the local police department or they will come and get us.
I live in Hawaii and received a call like this the other day, they were very hostile, knew my full name and address and called me 3 times.
At first I freaked out because the call woke me up and it was a local number. Then I remember reading about the scam here , so I told them to do what they had too and that I was not reporting to the police.
I then called out AG office to notify them to make them aware and see if they wanted the number, which they said no. They advise me to call the police on my island to make them aware, so I did and was informed that I was current and to just ignore them if I continue getting them.
They were concerned about it took the number and told me that I was not the only one that reported this.
Once again thank you for informing us who do not live in Florida. I read everything that you put on here and can’t believe how the laws differ from state to state. Those of us on the registry here in Hawaii are not subjected to all that you are over there.
Aloha & God Bless to all
Probably the most serious threat I’ve seen to date. This needs to be acted on by law enforcement.
Hoping and praying the targeted individual suffers no repercussions tomorrow (7th)
Doesn’t this new scam just ENFORCE AND PROVE that the Registery IS PUNISHMENT !?!?!?!?. Can’t this be used as Ammo in defense to prove that the Registery IS PUNISHMENT according to EVERYONE except the “Government ??? This Dirtbag admits how the Registery is used to CRUSH AND DESTROY anyone’s life that is on it, AND it’s used to also Destroy the FAMILY AND FRIENDS of Anyone on the Registery !!!??!?!!?!?!?!!. Didn’t this guy do is a favor ????. Maybe I’m looking at this wrong ???? But it seems to me that if the Registery wasn’t PUBLIC, Then there wouldn’t be a way for these Dirtbags to use it to further DESTROY people’s lives !?!?!!!?. According to the current figures, There is almost 1 MILLION people on the Registery !! Correct ????. Well by the way this Dirtbag is explaining it, Using our Family and Friends, That would make the .number of people HARMED AND PUNISHED by the “Registery” over HALF THE COUNTRY !!!!!!! If not more !?!?!?!?. All being Harmed/Embarrassed/Hurt/PUNISHED By the “Registery” !! Is this not a correct assumption ???????.
Look like someone was watching too many SAW (Horror) movies has the same time type of dialog and introduction to people that the puppet gives.
The US Postal Inspector is another appropriate agency responsible for investigations of this type.

If we insist that they prepare a report and follow through, then how do we verify that they’ve done so? Wait two weeks and request a copy?
An active criminal targeting former criminals. Hopefully he knows better than to mess with Florida.
To Jacob and all others, anyone can file a federal public information act and privacy act request to any US agency or bureau under Title 5 United States Code Section 552 and 552A.
