Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
Called my cell phone saying they showed I donated previously (which I did in 2011 and received a decal from "Louisiana Sheriffs’ Honorary Membership Program Est. 1994" but I told him I do not conduct business over the phone so he’d need to mail me something. He said he understood and agreed. I never received anything. A month later on March 17 a man called me to "collect". He treated me in a threatening manner telling me I committed and I owe that money. He said we mailed you an envelope and even a yellow reminder and you didn’t pay so I need you to write my address down and mail it today. I explained that I never received anything in the mail (which was true) and that I was literally at Walmart at the check out so I could not write his address down. He kept pressuring me and became more threatening in his tone (like a police officer talking to a criminal- demanding and dominating the conversation). The cashier even commented that she would NOT donate to anyone that handled it that way. She watched me as I tried many times to hang up etc.
I am 60 years old. I kept thinking about how rude he was so I decided to call the number and report him. Once I got the message I immediately realized it was a scam. After watching something on the news I decided to make this report. Thank you and hope it helps someone else from being ripped off.
