The first time the guy was very convincing at first, but quickly became apparent it was a scam.

I had this happen to me 5 months ago. What was strange is they weren’t asking for money they wanted me to go to the jail to clear up the bench warrant for not submitting the DNA. At some point I am sure they would have asked for money. They try to keep up on the phone and make threats. Every time I thought it might be a scam and started to question the call they would do something like call me from the main sheriffs office number. Thankfully I have a friend whom I have known for a long time in law enforcement and I merged him on the call.
I know most don’t have that luxury
IMO Best thing to do is ask for his name, badge number, and his extension and ask when he will be at his desk. Cause at the end of the day he isn’t making those kind of calls off the clock. If you feel him getting hostile hang up! If they truly have a warrant on one of us they aren’t gonna give us a curtesy call.

Check out the Google Play store. There are tons of free apps that can do it.

The circus great, P.T Barnum once stated ” There’s a sucker born every minute “. It is sad but true.

On the local news yesterday was an elderly lady who got scammed twice in the same week by the same people. She ended up losing over $40,000 . Luckily someone in law enforcement actually helped her not only get the money back, but also arrest the jerk.

They did and he opened some other scam company.

Still not sure why anyone on the registry would have a listed phone #. I have never gotten a call about the registry. But did get several scam mailings with my name, address and photo. I have a prepaid phone which is not listed anywhere, except at the sheriff’s office and is not made public.

If someone has an unlisted # and are getting these calls, then yeah, something fishy is going on somewhere.

There are two schools of thought. The first one says :

“It is going to get worse before it gets better”.

The second one says :
“Things are bound to get better”.

I am somewhere in between. I try and stay optimistic but even the Bible says :
John 16:33 : “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

I know and realize I had to be punished for the things I did(and apparently some I didn’t do were thrown in) but at what point after doing your time given by a judge, can you move on?

ONE freaking word is holding us down “Punishment”. Because the courts keep ruling it is NOT punishment, therefor we can quit whinning according to them.

Last December,someone at a store stole my credit card information. They ran up about $8000 worth of stuff. I immediately got an alert on my phone and called American Express. They shut down the card and told me I was would not have to pay any of the charges.

#1 I called the police and gave them all the info as well as the store it happened. NOTHING , I mean Nothing was done.

#2 The store tried coming after ME for the charges and threatened to ruin my credit. I finally called their corporate office and asked them if I needed to hire a lawyer for harassment. About an hour later their finance office said the Police report # I gave them was enough and I was not responsible.

Corporate told me that a skimmer had been found at one of the readers on the gas pump. American express had already told me that. Needless to say I do not buy gas there anymore. I would say the name of the place but be my luck I would get sued. But it is the most well known convienance store around.

Yes I remember that. Didn’t they also finally get shut down?
Problem with a-holes like him is, after they get shut down, they open up somewhere else under a different business name. Also I heard alot of those Arrest records sites are owned by just a hand full of the same people.
