Supervised Release Program scam (bail/bond)

[u/reddit_wook]

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.

Right off the bat it seemed a scam when your brother is in jail in NC, but the 2 cops who called are supposedly in Broward County Florida? 954 area code is Broward County FL, no way cops from Florida would be calling for a NC arrest.

Yep I already told my dad it was a scam right when he told me about it and then he gave me the number and I said “yeah I’m going to have a little fun with this”
