214-639-6424

Scam Type: Government / Law Enforcement Impersonation Report Summary: I received a phone call from +1 (214) 639-6424 from an individual claiming to be a law enforcement lieutenant. The caller stated that I had missed a court date for a serious case and that I had previously confirmed attendance. They said they needed to verify my identity and signature to ensure it was not related to fraud. The caller stayed on the phone with me continuously and instructed me to drive toward the courthouse. While near the courthouse, they told me not to open documents on government property and instructed me to park in a neutral location. They then sent documents claiming there was an active arrest warrant for me. The caller stated I was required to pay $15,000 in bond immediately and said payment could not be made by credit card, cash, or money transfer, and implied it needed to come directly from my bank. When I told them I did not have that amount, they instructed me to transfer whatever funds I could. At that point, I recognized this as a scam and ended the call. No money was sent and no personal financial information was provided. This call caused significant distress and appeared designed to impersonate law enforcement, create urgency, isolate me, and coerce immediate payment.
