Caller: Federal Police A recorded message informed me that my identity had been stolen and that there was a warrant out for my arrest and if I wanted to speak to an officer I should press '1'. It sounded very realistic so I pressed '1' and ended up talking to someone in a call centre in India somewhere. He started asking me questions - name, address but I wasn't feeling comfortable so I told him I was going to hang up. Which I did. He then rang back and left a message say, 'If you don't like talking to me that's fine. I am sending two officers to your address to arrest you'. So bogus. Be warned.
