Received this scam today from 904 630 5480

Told me I missed a court date and a notice by mail and asked what I wanted to do about it.

I love my price club membership

I received this same type of call at least three times. I was told not to remove my ankle bracelet (which I no longer ware because I’ve been off probation for ten years.) I asked what division he was with and he hung up.

I haven’t gotten one yet. I generally don’t answer if it’s not a call from someone on my contact list or a business name I recognize on ID.

I had one of these ass clowns call me several months ago, they actually called my wife first and the only access to that number was with LE.. late last year the local SO showed up with the fed dick head asking my wife questions before I was able to stop her, then low and behold 3 months later I’m getting scammer calls like this.

I had been away from my home from Thursday to this evening, Sunday. When I went to check my phone messages, I had a call from a ‘character’ who claimed the exact same thing…missed DNA sample appointment, he could get me a break on an arrest warrant with a repayable bond of $3,000 or 10% of the $30,000 the court was asking. I could drop off the check at an address on Sarno Road in Melbourne…supposedly a Brevard County Sheriff’s office. I played games with him for a while but, when I told him that I belonged to an organization that reported a similar situation as a scam, he hung up on me. Thank you, FAC. The sheriff’s offices on both 407 and in Titusville were closed this evening, therefore his willingness to meet me at a sheriff’s office was totally a scam…the street number he gave me was even incorrect. I got to thinking…I would like to invite him to my home to pick up a check, then I would beat the ‘snot’ out of the SOB. I’d give him a blank check where the ‘sun don’t shine’. He was using the number 321-253-6658.

In reply to Eugene V. Debs. Not to minimize any scam directed particularly in our direction but imo these types of scams do not seem to be particularly directed at registered citizens. I have had family and friends/associates with drug possession charges, DUIs, burglary, theft etc etc get hit with these type of phone call scams. Hell I even know people I use to work with that have never been arrested get these types of phone calls.

They will send an alert to the masses but remain silent when it affects us.

As has been said countless times they will NEVER call and tell you that you have a warrant. But I will also add this a warrant is issued by a judge the cops only make an application for a warrant the judge decides if they have enough of a reason to issues one and if so he issues one. Once a warrant is issued the cops don’t have the authority to ” make it go away”the court can only do that . once a warrant is issued the only thing the cops can do is execute it.

In reply to FAC Contributor #3. As I said above, the state AG may be better since the local LE offices may be involved.
