So today I was saved from scammers by my own financial incompetence. Get this breathless call from “Corporal Lisa Fields” from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department. Know that just reading this back I feel like an idiot, but they were pretty shrewd scammers with police radio sound effects and very smooth patter.
To give you the information you need, the story was that i had been sent notification that I had been called for federal jury duty, somebody signed the notice and sent it back and now there was a bench warrant out and I was subject to arrest. I can tell the entire epic story including the wonderfully specific $4549 I was supposed to pay the bondsman in crypto (I am not making this up) but you know enough now to hang up if you get such a call.
