Failure to appear scam?

We had a message on our answering machine this evening for my wife from a guy stating he was Sgt. Jackson with the HCSO. He stated he had a warrant for her for failure to appear and left a number to call. She called and it went straight to voicemail. A few things:

1. We've lived in Pearland for about 10 years which is Brazoria Co., not Harris.
2. This is a misdemeanor so you can look it up on their website; her name was no where to be found
3. I googled this and found several instances across the US where this has been going around but nothing specific to Texas or Harris Co.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm about 99% sure this is BS.

Perhaps call HCSO and ask. Sounds like a scam.

When they say you have to pay over the phone by credit card. It's a scam.

Tried calling the non-emergency line but never reached a person, just a bunch of recordings. She'll try again in the morning.

I had something similar happen a year or so ago, only it was via e-mail not phone.
I bypassed the e-mail and called directly and they had no record of it. They asked me to forward them the e-mail so they could look into it, but I never heard back about it. I just assumed it was some sort of scam.

A guy who used to work for us fell for it. He gave them his credit card number, DL number, DOB, and SS number.

I got a recorded message from IRS saying they are going to sue me if I don't call back. Think they will want my SS#?

As suspected it was nothing. Called HCSO this morning and they said it's been going around in town.

The best part of this whole thing is that you still have an answering machine.

Go down to the courthouse and make sure you don't have any warrants.

I've had them leave this message (in a heavy Indian accent) a couple of times over the last year.

yada yada yada call back and need a credit card etc to get your package.
