A New Scam

Caller with a Boise phone number claimed to be a Caldwell police officer calling because I failed to show up for a federal trial.  First clue,: a federal officer would have called.

I could see the windup to paying the citation by credit card.

Caldwell police said this is a common scam from overseas.

FCC needs to shut down rhe foreign exchange services that allow businesses in other nations to make it appear they have a North American phone number.  This is an invitation to fraud.

Today's Scam

The voicemail says if I do not call them back concerning Social  Security, an arrest warrant will be issued.  These scammers must think Americans are really stupid.
