Type of a scam Other
I had a missed phone call with a voicemail stating it was the Escambia County Sheriffs Department and to give them a call back. I attempted to call and went to a voicemail that had a very legit sounding Sheriff’s department message. They called me back and said I had missed a Federal Court Hearing for Jury Duty and was being fined. I had two options: 1. Go to the sheriffs department and sit in a holding cell while the fix the issue or come down to the sheriffs department with these Money Paks. They didn’t ask for me to send them money or I would have hung up on them, him telling me I had to bring them to the sheriff’s office is what convinced me. Luckily the cashier at CVS told me whatever I am buying these for is probably a scam or I may have lost close to $700. I asked her if I could use their phone to call the sheriffs department to verify and she did and they said it was a scam. WOW……
