'I’m gonna be charged with drug trafficking?' When this North Carolina police captain picked up the phone to a scam caller who claimed she was about to get arrested, she decided to have a little fun.
When one unlucky North Carolina police captain picked up the phone to a scam caller who claimed she was about to get arrested, she decided to have a little fun – and use the opportunity as a teachable moment.
During a chat with two men who identified themselves as 'John Black' and 'Jason Brown,' Stephens was told she was facing more than 25 criminal charges, ranging from drug trafficking to money laundering. Apex Police Department shared the footage to serve as a warning for the public to not give out address, social security, and other personal information to suspicious callers.
Rather than give out her details, she told viewers to “just hang up on ‘em or have a little fun,” and she chose the latter, doodling on a Post-It note throughout the scam call, which ended when one of the men abruptly hung up. "A lot of people want to engage the scammer and keep them on the phone and have a little fun with them. But a lot of people don't have time or are just afraid to do it, so I think they got to live vicariously through us," Stephens told Durham ABC station WTVD.
