Police Warn Public About Phone Scam

Beware of phone scams! This audio record is an example of a scam. The caller claims to represent the I.R.S. in regard to a law suit. This call was made to Corpus Christi Police Commander Michael Alanis. An investigation was conducted in regard to this call and the phone number was disconnected. Corpus Christi Police Detectives believe this particular man was able to obtain money from victims by claims that the F.B.I. would be outside the victims door within an hour unless a payment was made to this suspect.

We publish this video to warn the public of such phone scams. Common traits of a scam are requests for personal information by phone or (like in this case) an urgency for action. Contact the Better Business Bureau for more comprehensive information about phone scams at http://www.BBB.org. If you have become victim to a scam, report the event to local law enforcement. Share this video to have everyone aware of an example of a phone scam.
