We are not located in New Jersey. One of our employees received a voicemail purportedly from "Officer Joseph Fuentes" of the "State Police" - but not identifying which state. It sounds like the same message everyone else here is talking about. The number 609.738.0944. The caller had a robo-type voice with a bit of an accent - possibly Indian. I called it and the answering voice had a heavy accent - possibly Indian (my sincerest apologies that I'm not great at recognizing accents on the phone). He claimed to be "Mark Henry" from the NJ Attorney General's office in Trenton. He claimed to be an attorney, demanded payment (but wouldn't tell me the amount without my name), and became quite aggressive. I asked him a few questions that only a real attorney at the AG's office would know, and he couldn't answer them, and then tried to turn the tables on me when I couldn't help myself and laughed - he threatened me with legal action and an arrest warrant. I hung up and called the real AG's office and alerted them to this scam. They sometimes receive calls from the elderly who are confused by a call/scam, so they were appreciative of the heads-up. (Needless to say, they certainly had not called my employee about an outstanding warrant). It bothers me immensely that scammers do this to try and steal from people.
