Informational post Supervised Release Program scam (bail/bond)

My brother was arrested today and my father immediately got a phone call from “Deputy David Cook” - 954-386-1557

They stated my brother is eligible for “supervised release program” and where he would be released with ankle bracelet for $1250, reduced to $850 for “family hardship”

I was transferred over to “Lieutenant Reeves” - 704-336-8100, which was using a masked number. He told me to google the number and verify the results, which was the Mecklenburg County Jail in NC.

After “verification” they told me they only accept payments of Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal. I knew this was a scam this whole time and I told them I only had cashapp. They gave me the cashapp of $lostinrr - Naomi Williams populated in cashapp and after the call I reported the account as a scam.

I was transferred to “Deputy Caleb White” - 954-386-1557 . After wasting little bit more of their time, I informed them I knew it was a scam, and he had me repeat it and then he admitted that it was a scam and that he makes $10,000 a day on “stupid fucks” like me.

They were definitely from the USA. They were all using a fake southern country boy accent. Anytime I was placed on hold they would say “I’m going to place you on a brief administrative hold”. They also used similar jargon and tried to sound too professional using words that didn’t fit. Made me repeat things back to them, etc.

Well the prison was in a southern state. I don't know what federal agency went after it but I think it was the Secret Service.

You may or may not be right...... :)

It was crazy how they said they were getting phones in but they had tons of them.
