I received the call too from the sheriff's department. It is a scam.

Got a call from this law enforcement group asking for money for baskets for nursing homes and wanted to come pick up the money at my house with a ck saying for deposit only. Would be in my area and can pick up the money.  tried to call number back and it just rings....  SCAMMMMM!!!!!

1/16/12 Just received a call from Chris Jacobs from NHC 910-763-9574. He's been calling for 2 years now. Also used the name Larry Brown. It's a scam.

We've been receiving calls, sometimes three or four times a day, from this number. They don't leave a message. After seeing the other posts here, I wonder if the DONOTCALL list is worth anything at all. Seems like the Sheriff's Department would be concerned that someone is running a scam using their name. Why not track them down and put them in a cell where the phone rings every five minutes 24/7? I'm just sayin' ...

same as above has anyone called the sheriff dept to report this? I called him back and he answered but was suprised when I called so I know it is a scam thank you all
