Scam Alert: Fake Michigan Police Officers are Contacting Employers Registrants
Scammers pretending to be with Michigan State Police are preying on people on the state’s sex offender registry.
According to MSP, the scammers are calling employers of people who are on the registry, which are listed on offenders’ registry profiles. These scammers are trying to get personal information and payment for outstanding warrants and fees.
[FAC NOTE: This is a common scam that happens here in Florida. We try to post about it monthly to serve as a reminder warning to our members. Fortunately, if you are already familiar, you won’t get scammed. Unfortunately, there are 87,000 people on the Florida registry who are not members of FAC and the FDLE, despite being aware, does NOTHING to warn us. You’d think they could add an extra sentence to the 5 pages of registration paperwork they give us every few months, but no.]

This happened to my husband at his job in NY. We reported it and no one cares. The government already knows it is inciting these crimes against the American people, they will never process a complaint where they are the culprit.

So sorry that happened to your family. I got that call as well but when I said I would meet him in the lobby of the sheriff’s office, he said no that is not possible, so I hung up. I call the sheriff’s office to report it and they could have cared less if I had been kidnapped.
I got an actual call from a cop recently and, thinking it was a scammer, proceeded to say the most vile, vulgar things I could think to say before saying that they better look up who they’re f’ing with before trying to hit me with a weak ass scam. Then I called the LEA to report it only to talk to the officer I just verbally grilled thinking it was a scammer LOL
Unfortunately, it is hard to tell the difference at times between the real deal and a scammer any more.
Dude lol that’s actually pretty funny 😂
If we only had time machines.
Imagine the mistakes we could correct.
I would have a list a mile long.
