Eyal reported number +18589742222 as Imposters scam
This was a very convincing scam, so be aware.
This phone number really belong to San Diego Sheriff.
The caller speaks English very well, and had a very convincing American accent. Really sound like a police officer to me.
He identified as lieutenant Mark Johnson.
He actually asked for my wife, so he knew her name, but not mine.
He didn't want to disclose what this is about, because he is not allowed to, but he said it is an urgent matter and she may need to go to the Sheriff office.
All in all - it sound very convincing that this is something real. A mistake maybe (because why would my wife need to deal with them), but real.
He gave me a different phone number to call to (858)751-4807, which is private for him, and my wife should call there, because the Sheriff department phone appears on my caller ID is general.
I decided to not involve my wife to stress her out.
I called that same caller ID (858)974-2222, and really got to San Diego Sheriff. After digging through the options and got to speak to a person, and ask them about that Mark Johnson, they immediately told me it's a scam, and I shouldn't call that other phone number and just ignore it.
Please be aware. This was quite convincing scam as far as I can tell.
