OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A couple was nearly scammed out of more than $12,000, when they received a call from someone impersonating as a law enforcement official.
They say it all seemed legitimate because it came from someone who said they were an Oklahoma County Sheriff’s deputy.

If I got a call like this, my only response would be, "Well, come and get me then."
As a lawyer, he should also know that you don't get an arrest warrant for failing to pay a loan.
ReplyDeleteNot according to Donald Trump.
DeleteBut Trump did repay the loan.
DeleteSimple fact, if there's a warrant for your arrest, you do not get a courtesy call. Idiots.

Not unless you're rich and/or famous. Then you generally will be allowed to have your attorney accompany you.

Let's face it. There's a sucker born every minute and the proof is all the fucking Kamala lovers.
ReplyDeleteYeah. that is pretty dumb. Only time I had a warrant served on me the officer showed up at where my license said I lived. Got a heads up from my Dad and call the issuing court house and got it straightened out. No call from the State as it was those guys who showed up. Nuts.
ReplyDeleteThe Mumbai call center accent didn't clue them in?
ReplyDeleteIt can get much more serious than just money.

The scammer comes from the W. C. Fields school of social interactions: “It's morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep his money”.
