Teresa Weston had a missed call and voicemail purportedly from the Erie County Sheriff’s Office one day, requesting her to call back on an urgent matter.

She didn’t think much of it, until she received another call the following day.

This time she answered.

It turned out to be the same voice, saying that she hadn't shown up for jury duty and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

"He said that it had been sent to a prior mailing address of mine, which I hadn't lived in for almost 10 years," she said.

As the conversation continued, the details got more specific.

"He was telling me the warrant number. Yes, his badge number," Weston said.

Even going as far as to name drop federal judge for the Western District of New York as the one who issued the warrant. The judge, when called for comment, said she couldn’t ethically respond to the question.

The conversation between Weston and the mystery caller continued for about 25 minutes.

"He was relentless."

The caller kept trying to get Weston to go to 10 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, the address of the Erie County Sheriff's Headquarters.

“That made me think, well maybe this might be a little bit legitimate because he's telling me to go where there were police,” she said. “Apparently what happens is you would get all the way down to around 10 Delaware and he would try to re-route you. I assume what he was after was money, but it could've been anything more sinister. Who knows."

Several people who Weston works with were contacted by this caller but declined an interview.

"He was smart. He sought out people in the helping field, women, who generally probably pretty compliant with the law," she said.

A spokesperson for the Erie County Sheriff's Office said this is a scam. There is no detective with the name provided on Weston’s message, Daniel Rinaldo. They're advising people to hang up if they get one of these calls.

Since the caller uses the last name of the Buffalo Police Public Information Officer, they're looking into the scam as well.
