Police Captain Plays Scammers
In Apex, North Carolina, Police Captain Ann Stephens received a scam call from men pretending to be law enforcement and IRS agents.
They accused her of money laundering and drug crimes, claimed multiple fraud accounts were linked to her SSN, and threatened immediate arrest.
Stephens calmly played along. When asked for her address, she gave them the Apex Police Departmentβs address. She refused to share her SSN, politely questioned their inconsistent story, and asked to speak to a βsupervisor.βFrustrated, the scammers hung up.
She recorded the call and shared it publicly as a warning: Never give personal information over unsolicited calls.
