On 08/21/14 the WFPD Financial Crimes Unit was made aware of a widespread telephone scam both in our local area and out of state.  The scam begins with an unsolicited telephone call from an individual claiming to be a representative of the law offices of local attorney Jeff McKnight.  The caller typically identifies himself as Ron Adams who then proceeds to tell citizens that they are suspects in fraud case involving Cash Advance.  The caller then threatens to file criminal charges if money is not repaid in the form of prepaid greendot/vanilla cards.  The common denominator in the calls is the phone number is the same every time and the caller has a heavy accent and speaks broken english.  The phone number is 940-202-9905 and is a known number associated with telephone scams.
