Call without a voicemail. Called at night, so not a business, and not anyone I know. Instant block!

Received a call late at night as well, it was something to do with Tehachapi police department, actually it was an investigative unit. They had the audacity to call the daughter of someone they must have been investigating under completely false pretenses asking her where he was and demanding that she come down to the station at 9pm, yet she lives four hrs away.  It was in coalition with Kern County sheriff or police not sure which. Calling back got a msg that stated "Call back from the original number we contacted you on." In doing so I got a vm it said extension 100 leave a message. Crazy investigator group that think some outlandish tale of actually a man just chopping oak in the mountains on private property.  Tax payers money well spent I am sure.  Thank you.  And they scared his daughter to death she thought he was dead.

Sounds like some sort of a scam to me.  Someone impersonating a police officer.    Call your local police and report it.  Police investigations involving witnesses or suspects are usually carried out on a face-to-face basis.  Sometimes there are exceptions if the case is on-going and there has been previous communication.  Seems scammy.

It's definitely a Scam CW. Two things are tell-tale evidence of that. First is the origin of the call. Not much more screams "Scam" louder than a call from that area code. The second is the fact that no LE office is going to vet their calls with CID & request call backs from the number that they'd called. That would NEVER happen!
"MyName" is going to get more calls from this outfit & it's going to become clear that they're frauds. What kind of frauds has yet to be determined but there's no doubt that they ARE frauds. This outfit sounds determined so it'll be interesting to find out what they're up to. My bet is that they're just another bunch of idiots trying to run a "Corona Scam".
Live Well.
