Warning: these calls masquerading as an attorney general are classic extortion scams. Scammers often spoof 911 or law‑enforcement IDs, use aggressive language, and demand immediate payment via prepaid cards, MoneyPak, or wire services. Never send money to anyone you haven’t verified in person, and do not share personal or banking details over the phone. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC, your state attorney general, and local law‑enforcement. Keep a log of the call timestamps and recordings; they help investigators track patterns. Using a call‑blocking app can further reduce exposure to similar fraud attempts.
I was alarmed when I saw the number -911, I thought something had happend to my family, but it was just a scammer with a heavy accent, claiming to be from the California Police Department, I'm going to call them back and give them a piece of my mind.
It's a Crazy Scam, the email I requested had misspeld words, and the guy claimed to be from Florida State's Atty, but the seal on the email was from Orange County, CA, thats a red flag!
One rule to remember, NEVER using wire transfer for buisness transaction, only for family and friend, you should check Western Union web site for more info on fraud
Fortunatly, I was cautious when this guy called me, and after he refused to acept a secured method of payment, I became suspisious and contacted the local police department, who confirmed it was a scam and advised me not to give him any money
A scammer posed as Sam Wilson and scared me into loading a Green Dot Money Pak, now I want my money back.
Mark Johnson made multiple calls to my phone, displaying 'Emergency 911' on the caller ID, and proceeded to use profanity and verbal abuse when I didn't respond; this behavior is unacceptable and potentially illegal.
Today, I received a call from this individual attempting to extort money, claiming a warrant would be issued for my arrest if I failed to pay immediately, and they even used a return number that appeared to be from the FL Sheriff's department, which was later confirmed as fraudulent by the actual sheriff's department.
