Scammer takes a 'swat' at Culpeper man
Snip from article:
According to Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins, a resident on Carrico Mills Road got a call Friday from a scammer pretending to be an IRS agent. The caller told the resident that he owed thousands of dollars in back taxes and ordered him to bring the money to a specified address in Washington or be arrested.
Jenkins said the resident realized it was a scam and responded by saying that he would have to borrow the money from “a police officer friend.”
The scammer immediately hung up, but minutes later placed a call to 911 reporting a man with a gun at the victim’s residence. Five deputies and a canine responded to find nothing awry.
