I've gotten a few voicemails that are a recorded message telling me that I am going to be arrested the next day unless I call back. I know it's a scam but it's still physically alarming. I picture being arrested, I picture being thrown in jail at the mercy of the justice system. I imagine what will happen with my job and my family. Its so frightening that I completely understand why people will pay hundreds of dollars to make that feeling go away. The sickening thing is that I'm sophisticated enough to not fall for it. I'm white, I'm college educated, I'm a comfortably employed engineer, I know that I'm at a relatively low risk of being arrested without cause. A lot of other people probably get these calls, probably suspect it's a scam, but don't have the same level of confidence and just hand the money over. These scams prey on the people who can least afford it. I was also getting voicemails from a lovely recorded female voice saying "someone who loves you very much has asked us to reach out to you, please call us back". Again, rationally I know it's a scam, but still emotionally I feel how nice it would be to think that someone out there cares about me. It much be nearly irresistible to lonely people.

I got those a few times here in Austria. In fairness for me it was amusing since it’s obvious the FBI don’t have jurisdiction here and seems unlikely they’d use an obvious and poor text to speech generator. A more clever one I got just the other day started with a text to me in German claiming to be from my son saying he lost his phone and this was his new number. Even though it was preposterous I did take a few moments to recognise it was a scam.

  She's the scammer, of course she is putting out poor me as I put out calls. She is to chicken to answer the door to me, a officer and the woman and children she stole from. Chicken bock bock.

Thou shalt not steal! Stealing is illegal, improper and not the way to get to the top. Yes call me Sarah Milner the owner of everything you stole, you have my kids too?!!! I have worked my whole life in care centers and been a mom to my children 15 years. No one can take that from my children and I. And everyone knows who the real me is! YOU ARE FAKE!
