SCAM Warning: Fake detectives calling employers

Be on the lookout for scammers calling EMPLOYERS asking for registrants. We’ve received reports from members whose employers received calls from a scammer pretending to be Detective Keith McCoy. FAC has confirmed this is a scam and police reports have been filed.
The number he is calling from is 863-862-5101 (you may get a voicemail with a fake sheriffs office recording – it sounds authentic, but it’s fake). If anyone wants to call “Detective Keith McCoy” to wish him good luck with his scam, now you have the number!

    Unfortunately it is not surprising and only a matter of time before they hit each and every one of us. I’ve pointed out that the Statute makes it a crime to use the registry to harass and of course get the response that “they have not broken any law yet” I’ve had to speak with Internal Affairs with no luck either.
    Please list where the Scams are being done so that we can compile a database of the “police reports” as I foresee the only way to end this is to be able to prove that it is systemic malfeasance of office. There have been more than enough reports made to police concerning the use of the registry to harass, that we should be able to file a class action suit in the federal Courts for Violations of the 14th Amendments equal protection clause.

    I’m thinking that the same vigilante groups and even law enforcement officers who use the fraudulent sting operations to create fake child predator cases for profit and for other self-serving purposes may very well also be behind these other scams.
