Collection Agency Worker Accused Of Impersonating Officer

NBC17.com:

Police are investigating a New York collection agency, where an employee is accused of posing as a law enforcement officer to obtain payment on a debt.

An employee of Alden Associates called a 63-year-old Selma woman and claimed to be a Johnston County Sheriff's deputy, police said. The person ordered the woman to pay a $300 credit card balance from 2003 and said she would be thrown in jail in an hour if she didn’t, police said.

The person also told the woman that she wouldn't see a judge until June or July and would have to "sit in jail" the entire time, police said. The agency also is trying to collect an additional $2,000 in fees for the $300 bad debt, police said.

Officials with Alden Associates have refused to talk with investigators about the incident, police said.
