Captain Ann laughed but didn’t tell the caller that she was a police captain herself.
Phone scammers always try to obtain personal information from the victims and that’s what the caller did with Captain Ann.
“I’m going to be charged with drug trafficking?” Stephens can be heard asking in the video.
“Absolutely,” the man responded.
“In 45 minutes, a sheriff’s deputy is going to arrest me for drug trafficking?” she asked again.
“Absolutely,” the man said.
The man asked her to confirm her social security number and her home address. She told the phone scammer: “If you have my file on me, you should know what my address is.”
When she refused to confirm her social security number and her home address, the man threatened her that she will be arrested and told her that she’s “guilty of a $10 million fraud.”
The man said that his name is Officer John Black and he’s from the Social Security Administration. Captain Ann then gave the address of the Apex Police Department.
One of Captain Ann’s colleagues recorded their conversation. Captain Ann said that she kept on talking to show how criminals try to obtain personal information from the victims.
She said at the end of the video: “Folks, these are scam calls. Don’t ever give out your information, don’t ever verify information, even if they have it. They’re all scammers. Just hang up on them or have a little fun.”
She urged to hang up the call immediately if you get a similar call. She told Inside Edition: “Never give out your date of birth, your social security number, bank account information, anything that’s very personal.”
