I just got a few missed calls from a NYPD precinct but luckily I was taking a nap, the number came up as legit when I looked it up, but after seeing this video, I can rest assure that it’s a scam

This happened to me, but with a “law office”. They called my mom looking for me, when I called the number that called me, the number wasn’t real!

This happened to me as an HR person about one of my employees who had a past record. I could feel it was a scam and i was freaking right!

That happened to me once and I only caught it because they used the name I go by, not my legal name / deadname. It’s definitely terrifying!

My bank called me about my card being cloned- I took the call- it was legit - how do we know who to trust now? Me not taking that call would have been to my detriment

Happened to me a court house # was spoofed I was told I had to pay a balance on an old car. I was told the processor was coming to home to serve me papers. No one ever came. Seemed very legit though.

I don’t answer calls from unknown numbers. I was taught, if it’s IMPORTANT, they’ll leave a message. Never steered me wrong.
