My husband got contacted by a number that was impersonating someone from our local Sherriff’s department. They told him he aus being contacted for missing jury duty and that the summons for jury duty was sent and signed for. They called from the actual number used by our sheriff’s department which he checked and it made him think it was legitimate. During the call he said jn the background you could hear beeping noises from a walkie talkie and people calling in like it was from an actual cop car. They really made it believable. They said he had to pay a $3800 fine or he would be arrested. They used coinstar and cryptocurrency to have the money sent. Of course looking back he feels like an idiot falling for it but these people had American accents.
