TO YOU GUYS DOWNTOWN. OKAY TIM,
THANK YOU. OUR OTHER TOP STORY
OF PHONE SCAM IN OAKLAND COUNTY
TRICK TO PEOPLE INTO THINKING
THEY WERE UNDER ARREST. THE
SHERIFF TONIGHT, TELLING PEOPLE
TO BE ON THE ALERT FOR THIS
JACQUELINE FRANCIS LIVE WITH US
. THE SCAMMERS ARE, OF COURSE,
LOOKING FOR MONEY, JACQUELINE.
YEAH HERE’S HOW IT WENT, A
PERSON PRETENDING TO BE IN
OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTY
CALLED THESE PEOPLE UP,
THREATENING TO ARREST THEM FOR
FAILING TO APPEAR AT JURY DUTY.
THE PERSON ON THE PHONE DEMANDED
$5000 BOND. NOW THAT TWO PEOPLE
WE KNOW OF THEY DIDN’T GIVE UP
ANY MONEY, BUT THEY DID COME
HERE TO THE COURTHOUSE TO TURN
THEMSELVES IN, ACTUALLY THINKING
THEY WERE UNDER ARREST. IT’S A
LITTLE MORE UNUSUAL. USUALLY
IT’S A PHONE CALL OR KIND OF A
PANICKED VISIT TO A SUBSTATION.
BUT THIS TIME THEY ACTUALLY
SHOWED UP AT OUR MAIN
COURTHOUSE. OAKLAND COUNTY
SHERIFF MIKE BOUCHARD SAYS IT’S
THE LATEST SCAM TO HIT THE AREA.
MM HMM. DATING A SHERIFF’S
DEPUTY TELLING RESIDENTS THAT
ARE UNDER ARREST FOR MISSING
JURY DUTY DEMANDING $5000 BOND
TO AVOID ARREST. THE SHERIFF
ISN’T AWARE OF ANY RESIDENTS
THAT PAID THE MONEY, BUT THERE
WERE TWO PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP TO
THE COURTHOUSE THINKING THERE
REALLY WAS A WARRANT OUT FOR
THEIR ARREST. FEARFUL SCARED
THEY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THEY HAD
DONE WRONG, AND THEY HAD DONE
NOTHING WRONG. THERE’S NO
KNOWING HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE
IMPACTED BY THIS SCAM. WE HAVE
NO WAY OF KNOWING. YOU KNOW HOW
MANY WERE HUNG UP ON AND
TRAGICALLY. HOW MANY MAYBE PAID
THEM. UM YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THIS
IS A VERY COMMON THING, AND
PEOPLE ARE GETTING THESE CALLS
EVERY DAY, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE
PAYING. BUT SHERIFF BOUCHARD
DOES KNOW THIS. SOMETIMES IT’S
JURY DUTY. SOMETIMES IT’S THE
FBI CALLING. SOMETIMES IT’S THE
IRS, BUT THE COMMON THREAD. IS
THIS. ANY GOVERNMENT THAT CALLS
SUPPOSED GOVERNMENT ANYONE
CALLING, SAYING THEY’RE FROM THE
GOVERNMENT POLICE OR OTHERWISE
AND DEMANDING IMMEDIATE PAYMENT
OVER THE PHONE FOR ANYTHING? IT
IS A SCAM. HANG UP. NOWADAYS
GAMERS OR EVEN ABLE TO SPOOF THE
NUMBER THEY’RE CALLING FROM TO
MAKE IT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE
THEY’RE CALLING FROM THE
SHERIFF’S OFFICE OR ANOTHER
AGENCY. SO THAT’S JUST ONE MORE
THING TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN
YOU’RE GETTING THESE CALLS
