In reply to Joel Pomerantz. In Michigan the AG office, GHOST Team from Flint, and many Counties are the scammers. If someone was / is arrested in a computer sting Op be advised these prosecutions are bogus . An in-person crime must have occurred AFTER the internet intro. I just got removed from the registry after 13 years of a 25 year unlawful order. That is a Christmas MIRACLE I'm in the middle of a federal lawsuit I filed last summer ( myself) plus I filed a state habeas corpus in my trial court 3 weeks ago. Doe et al v Nessel et al. ANYBODY so convicted is actually innocent. The chat log proves no victim involved nor the required commercial activity . Accosting...Abusive Activity...Computer charges/ convictions are 100% NULL & VOID. Find the jury instructions online for proof. Study each MCL they charged. Happy New Year !

You can also choose to mess with the scammer and waste his time so he does not have that time to call another registrant and possibly scam them. Once I kept the scammer on the phone for almost an hour.

In reply to CJB. Thank you, CJB. I am extremely aware of the stigma associated with that term. I did not use it in writing the piece, so you must be referring to the header. Please note the quotation marks. They are there for the purpose of showing that, while that is what the scams are called, I have the utmost contempt for the term. We are torn between not using objectionable terms in titles and having titles that will attract attention.

I live in Williamson county Texas. The Registrar warned me of the scams. She said one Registrant was asked to meet a scammer with gift cards or he would go to prison. So he called the sheriff. He and the sheriff met the scammer. That must have been a real surprise. But knowing our sheriffs they gave the scammers a slap on the wrist and fined him.

At some point, dirty cops must be behind at least some of it because the scammers are calling numbers that are unlisted and that are not published on the registry websites but are only accessible to members of law enforcement. That’s why the sheriff’s office won’t investigate the scams

These calls do exist! I have a true story that is over the allowed 350 characters I’d love to share, but can’t. I tried!! Tried to shorten it up to make sense…wish I could share on your behalf. Just don’t fall victim to these scams!!

In reply to Jesse. One unconscionable use of database begets another unconscionable use. SOR begets Scams. And some LEO INSISTED the database would DECREASE recidivism of sex crimes. Or did it make it worse?

I find a good way to avoid these scammers is to use a call screener, so if a caller is not on your contact list the call will be blocked and you can find out if the call is a scam call or not and some will give you information on the number.

Pssst…edit…it is King County, WA Sheriff’s Office, not King’s County. As WA native, I know this county very well.
