Description

I received a phone call from Eric Muller or similar from Palm Beach County Sheriffs office notifying me that I have 2 arrest warrants out for failure to show up to a federal jury selection - and that he had proof of the document that I accepted delivery of the certified letter of selection - and was even able to tell me what my signature vaguely looked like. He then proceeded to tell me that he would need me to come down in person to the Sheriff's office on Gun Club Road and do a signature comparison to see if it was indeed my signature. He then transferred me to a US Marshall named Lt Timothy Glovaski JR, and he proceeded to walk me through the legal ease of what was happening. This call came from a no caller ID, and when I asked how I would know this was not a scam, he said he would call me from another number to verify. He called from another number and told me to google the number, when I did I found it was Palm Beach County non-emergency line phone number. He then told me he would join back on the other call so the non-emergency line didn't get "busy." He then told me based on the documents he had "the court" text me from this number - 943-227-4005 that looked pretty legit, showing the charges, my name, his name, the amount of bond that I needed to pay on the arrest warrant with a case number and my name on it, and three other documents that he made me read over the phone to him to prove I understood what was happening. He told me since there were active arrest warrants out for me that I would need to read the Mobile Escort Orders where essentially I stay on the phone with him until I arrive at the station so that I am not actively pursued or arrested by another officer on my way there. He made me state my first, last name, time, and date and that I was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He also said I was under a gag order and could not call anyone or talk to anyone about this until I got to the station. He told me I had to go to my bank, withdrawl $6,000 to cover the bond and then after that the court claims would direct me to a voucher system or a bail deposit system in the area, he said this could be closer and would potentially be a Walgreens or CVS. I started getting more suspicious then and was terrified to call my husband thinking I might be breaking the law. As I arrived at the bank, he told me to put him on mute and get right back on when I was done. He then said, it's your money, so you don't have to mention anything to anyone about it. Which solidified my suspicions. I am sure if I did the bank would tell me I was getting scammed. Since I was on hold, I did a quick google of this guys name, found a related scam, then called the local non-emergency back and told them I thought I was getting scammed. They confirmed I was and indeed there was no arrest warrant. I was still shaking outside of the bank. I hung up on this scammer, and he tried calling me back multiple times before I blocked him. I wanted to share this with everyone. DON'T FALL FOR IT.
