Scam Description
Received a voicemail saying my Amazon Account was Fraudulent. So I checked my Credit card attached to it and there was a charge pending. So I thought it was legit so I called them.
He proceeded to tell me I’m wanted in Texas for steeling a car, Launderings money, and Drug Trafficking. He knew all my Credit cards and Banks I use. No numbers though. Told me if I hang up before I get this resolved I’m admitting I to the crimes and he will have the local police come and arrest me and it will stop my social security . As we were talking the Local police number came up on my caller ID. So I panicked and hung up. We got disconnected from my call. They tried calling several times over and over. Also, so did the police numbers as well.
I went to that police department and they said IF there was any warrant they will come find me NOT call me.
These scammers used a buffer number to call. The police had No record of calling my number.
Strange thing I found out after is that they called my daughters cell phone 10 min before me. I was at work and she lives 1 hour away. But on her phone that number came up Scam Risk but not on mine.
