Exact same scenario as sjm and ait. Foreign accented individual, barely fluent in English. Claims to be an "officer Arthur" with warrant for my arrest. It's a complete scam and is designed to prey on the elderly.

Same scenario as sjm above. The foreign sounding guy actually snickered when he left the voice mail. I called him back after reading sjm's comment. The guy said that the x police would be arresting me. I said good (I don't even live in that city anymore). I asked him where he was located, he did not reply. He ***g up. I recorded the conversation and called the DC police (because of it being a 202 area code phone number). The police said that technically a crime wasn't committed, even though he claimed that I would be arrested. She too said that it was a scammer and that it was probably a cell phone call and could be from outside the area. Since no information was given to him, technically a crime was not committed. A threat of being arrested by the police apparently is not a crime.

Caller id showed this number and name as Dominique Ford...male caller with foreign accent left message saying he was from criminal investigations needing to get in touch with me for tax fraud...do not answer or give any personal information!
