I received a phone call from who said they were the police Dept. and I had
been picked up on camera running a red light. They wanted my credit card
number to pay the fine.
I told them to mail me the ticket. They said that a warrant would be placed
on me. I said fine I will lay it out in Jail. They hung up. I called the
police and they said it was a rip-off. BEWARE

plate number?

What was their accent like? I heard that similar frauds are practiced
in Eastern Europe.
