Scam Call Warning:

Received a call on my Verizon wireless service that was labeled Possible Spam.  The Number from which the call came was shown as 1-833-543-0368.  I did not answer.  I do not answer any numbers I do not recognize.  They left a voice message.  It was a male voice.  Message said: "Get back to me on my department division number that is 833-543-0368.  I repeat 833-543-0368 now if I don't hear a call from you we will have to issue and arrest warrant under your name and get you arrested. So get back to me as soon as possible. Thank You..."

I followed Verizon's advice to hold down on the call and I would get options to have it reported as spam and blocked.  I blocked the number myself.  Verizon's instructions did not work.

LanaeK, we can understand how alarming it can be to receive a Spam Phone Call in this manner. Blocking the phone number is a great option, however, if the caller is calling from another number, that call would still go through.
