The REAL police I called seemed nonchalant about it (assuming they get this same call all the time lol) and told me as long as I didn’t give info I was fine Told him I didn’t live at the address anymore that they were referencing ** Confirming that the way I didn’t fall for it was telling him I wanted to call him back so I asked for his badge number, name, and phone number to call him back at and he hung up lolol If I went on longer, would he have asked for money.
