I was called on my cellphone by this phone number 979-361-4900(this is actual local Sheriff Department phone number which was spoofed by caller) Caller left voicemail he is from Sheriff Dept and you need to call back regarding urgent matter. I called phone number they left me this number to call 979-300-0252.
The guy said You didnot appear in court on Aug 20, 2019. There was subpoena served in your name. You have to submit bond money other wise arrest warrent will remain in effect. Guy said you must stay on phone with Officer otherwise you will be arrested. Guy said to go to Office Depot and load 3000$ on Reloadit cards then provide him pin # and mail cards with receipt to local postal mail box.
Address it DOD 1600 Pensylvenia Ave Washington DC 20220 (later I found out this is White House address). I did all of that. My family member then came and said this looks like scam. We went to nearest police station and they said you have been scammed there is no warrent. When pollice officer answered phone call the caller said sorry and hung up.
I went back to office depot spoke to manager and called corporate office of office depot to report this scam. I also called Reload Card Customer Service to report this scam and see if there is any possibility to get money back. I reported it to FTC and will file online report to FBI soon. I want to alert other people to beware and not loose your hard earned money.
