Aloha , Check out my opinion article in the (12-08-12) edition of the Kaua'i Garden Island news, "The chief’s quick thinking will help save potential scam victims."
Kaua'i Chief of Police Darryl Perry recently posted his conversation with a scammer on Youtube in hopes it will save you from being scammed!
Imagine being a scammer and having a list of phone numbers and one of those phone numbers just happens to belong to the Chief of police! What are the odds? Like winning the lottery or being struck by lightning? I am sure the Chief would prefer winning the lottery (that's if we had a lottery) but none the less is glad he wasn't struck by lightning.
The scammer pretending to be from New York and telling the Chief he has won $250,000 but will need a check for taxes, he asks the chief to send $500.00 via western Union, the chief agrees using the fictitious name of Robert Silva, while the scammer with a foreign accent uses the name Peter Wallace.
The Video is posted with an unlisted tag, only those with the enclosed link can view it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP4bRfCyxqM.

May I recommend to the Chief to drop the unlisted code and allow anyone anywhere in the world to hear this. This Youtube could save many people from being victims
This is some great acting by our Chief, not only do I hope this YouTube goes viral, but hope our Chief wins an academy award.
Jokes aside, Mahalo Nui Loa Chief Perry for sharing your phone conversation and posting it on YouTube for the world to know what to look for in a scam!
