LISTEN: Scammer Threatens Police Chief With Arrest Warrant

OSSINING, NY — Some hapless scam artist aimed for the wrong mark. Although Chief Kevin Sylvester promised to go quietly.

Well, gang, if this voicemail is right, we’ve reached the end of the road. The IRS and the FBI are hot on my trail and since I won’t send them $4,328.64, it’s off to the hoosegow for me. I tried to negotiate a deal, but they say the warrant has been issued. I’ll be standing by the fax machine waiting patiently. In the meantime, pleeeeeeeease don’t fall for this nonsense, ok?! - Chief Sylvester

You must listen to the conversation:

It's not the only scam going around. There are folks pretending to be utility bill collectors, too. SEE : Putnam Sheriff Warns Of Summer Phone Scam
