My husband just had a phone call from 'Essex Police' saying they had a ***** ******* in custody, and did we know him. He gave our surname but wrong christian name. It was from a Sergeant *****, my maiden name! He also mentioned that he was told that my husband was housebound, (he isn't) He sounded a right geezer! Phone was on loud speaker. Anyway, my husband said we didn't know him and put phone down. With that, he rang Essex police with said Sergeants name, and was told there was no such person, and it sounds like a scam. Honest to god, don't these people ever stop!

i wonder what the scam was though.....

Trying to get money somehow, I should imagine.
A scam to get you to confirm your name, albeit rather an over elaborate one, although the "housebound" sounds suspicious
well spotted
and thanks
