Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen says the scammers even pose as officers from his office, saying there’s a warrant out for their arrest, and they must pay fees immediately. Some physicians, who were mostly women, are even told to disrobe and send lewd pictures of themselves. Constable Rosen says victims are also told to load the money on a MoneyPak card, making it hard to trace or remove cash placed on the card. Constable Rosen is also urging anyone who gets a call like this to hang up immediately and call his office to inquire about an active warrant.
