General Talk / Scammers
« on: March 25, 2024, 02:15:19 PM »Had someone call from 408-963-5952 and say they were from the Santa Clara county Sheriffs department and said I had two warrants for failure to appear for jury duty summons. They were very insistent that I was in serious trouble and needed to prove that I wasn't the one that signed a certified letter for the summons. They started instructing me to stay on the phone and get ready to drive down to the office while still on the phone. I started getting suspicious there, but as soon as they said that I had a bail that would need to be paid I decided to accidentally drop the call, and then try and call the number back which went to a empty mail box. They called repeatedly and asked why I got disconnected and I confronted them as scammers, and hung up. They texted a lot of profanity in response.
Dang, I cant believe that I belived them for a minute there... Hopefully no one else falls for this.
