You Are Going to Be Arrested!
The scams continue. This one came in on my cell phone from a phone number showing Placentia, CA. It was a robo-call. The woman's voice on the call said, We have received a legal case against you and for that reason you will be arrested at either your home or your work place. If you need any further information you can reach me at XXX-XXX-XXXX. See you in the courthouse.
I Googled the number and found many others have received this same call. All I can figure out is that if you call that number your phone will either be compromised or you could be charged for the call. They may even try to get money out of your to drop the case. I wouldn't call the number under any circumstances. This is a scam.
I know most of the Deputy Sheriffs in town and if they want to find me they know where I am and would probably call me to tell me they were coming.
Scams like this are meant to rattle and upset people and to get them to act irrationally. Just be aware and do not call the number back. Several people posted online they called the number. Only one person said the answering machine said they identified themselves as a law firm. You should report it to your local authorities.
