STATE POLICE YET TO COMMENT ON FAKE OFFICER HOLDING LOCAL WELL TENDER

(08/29/2015)

The West Virginia State Police say some detachment phone numbers have been hijacked, making scam calls to collect money from the unsuspecting. The high-jacking of personal phone numbers, called spoofing, is to convince the person called it is from someone they know. State Police have yet to confirm an incident where a local well tender was long-detained by a fake policeman on a rural road near the Calhoun-Gilmer line. That man claimed he was a state policeman. The incident happened during the first week of June, 2015 in a remote area in Gilmer County, near the Calhoun line. See related story   LOCAL WELL TENDER HELD THREE HOURS BY "FAKE COP"
