This happen to me. These people are very sophisticated when they have you are the phone. I even doubted it from the beginning and they still had me thinking it might be true. I was told that I did not show up for my court hearing for taxes I owed and there is a warrent for my arrest. Told them I didnt owe no taxes and never got no notice. They said it was probably just error but i still needed to go to court house today. I told them I would just go to nearest police station and turn myself in. Then they said I could but I would have to stay in jail over night. They said if I go to court house today I would be released today. Then they instructed me to go to rite aid and get cash pacs to pay with. That was when my husband and I went to police station nearby and the police chief got on my phone and ask who they were then the caller asked who he was and he said chief of police. Immediately they hung up. The call was even from the city and state where the court house was located. These people have a logical answer for anything you ask them. Only until you speak with one of them will you understand how convincing they are. Please, everyone take this serious! This happen to me.
