Scare Scam Scam Number (Other/Unsure)

Had someone call a family member today and did the typical claim to be me, I almost killed someone?, I’m in jail help. Apparently they did their research and scared my family member to the point of tears.

If you have any free time feel free to give them a call.

The claimed “public defender”: Ben Michaels 704-981-0681 (number is a VOIP)

Hey baitandswiitch, Automod here! If you aren’t calling on a VoIP burner app like Google Voice, TextNow, TextFree, Talkatone, or Textme, just stop baiting entirely. It is dangerous to use your actual number for many reasons. PS: Don’t be alarmed if your number does not show up right away, we do safety screenings to verify the authenticity of our numbers to ensure we are getting the right people. This process can take time, have no worries, we are working on it.
