CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said three people posed as officers and convinced someone to give them money.

Police said a group called a random person on Friday and threatened to arrest them if they did not send them money. During the conversation, the scammers identified themselves by the specific names of two CMPD command staff members and one CMPD sergeant.

Officials said the phone number that showed up on the victim’s caller ID was a CMPD business number.

The victim did send money to the suspects but was later contacted by their financial provider who said they believed the activity was a scam.

The victim then reported the incident to CMPD.

Police said the three officers whose names were used were told about what happened and were not involved in the fraud scheme. Authorities believe the scammers got the names and the CMPD phone number from public information.

Officials said if someone receives a call like this one, to hang up and call 911 to report it.

This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.

Diabetes Freedom presents hopes to millions of diabetics all over the world. Based on extensive medical studies, Diabetes Freedom is a holistic and integrated approach to liberate sufferers of this disease from the physical pain and financial burden the disease comes with.

Diabetes Freedom is a program designed to help you reverse type 2 diabetes and be free from the condition for good.

It uses simple but powerful nutrients that work to enable your body to flush out toxins that often causes diabetes. You will need to mix the ingredients in the exact amounts and consume them at specific times of the day for it to work.

This way you will create a powerful catalytic effect that also increases its potency. This will then kick-start a powerful chain reaction that culminates in reversing your condition and setting you free of it.

How Does Diabetes Freedom Work?

The main cause of type 2 diabetes is a toxin called the ceramide compound. It forces fat cells to spill into the blood and then clog important organs of the body. The organs that are worst hit are the heart, pancreas, and liver.

When the pancreas is interfered with by these toxins, the body’s ability to produce internal secretion is hampered. Internal secretion is the secretion that tells your cells to absorb energy and sugar from foods that you eat. Without it, sugar gets into the bloodstream which is why your blood rises and ultimately leads to type 2 diabetes. Also, the fat forms around the body and gets stuck to the heart and the liver. It ends up clogging the arteries, something that explains why people with diabetes are at a greater risk of developing a heart attack.

Diabetes Freedom gives your body the phytonutrients required to flush out ceramide compounds and stop fat from accumulating in your bloodstream and blocking your arteries. You just need to add this phytonutrient blend to your diet and it will destroy this fat.

Phytonutrients are compounds that help to neutralize the foreign agent

“Nothing there.” “A witch hunt.” “No collusion.” “Fake news.”

If President Donald Trump really believed these words, he would be working with both hands to help Special Counsel Robert Mueller successfully conclude his investigation into alleged entanglements between Trump and Russia.

How it would clear the air and free Trump from disabling suspicions if the Mueller investigations could declare without hesitation that Trump had laundered no money for Russian oligarchs while in his real estate business, had accepted no help from Russian interests in his campaign against Hillary Clinton and owes no money to Russian entities that could corrupt our nation’s dealings with Moscow.

Instead, Trump works to thwart Mueller’s investigations at every turn; he castigates his attorney general for recusing himself from Russian investigations rather than protecting him in the matter, dismisses FBI Director James Comey because of the “Russian thing,” and almost fires Mueller, stopped only by a threat to resign by his White House counsel.

Not only does he not seem to believe his own words, but Trump also shows every sign of a man who is hiding something. We, the public, have a right to know what that might be, and we have an equal right to assurances that Mueller’s investigations will go on as planned.

A wise priest once told me that, in this day and age, having children seems like an act of insanity. It appears foolishly audacious, he said, to bring new life into such a dark world of suffering, evil, and injustice. Yet, he explained, it is precisely this kind of foolishness that is built on the defiant hope of the Gospel. Without believing that God has not abandoned us, how could one justify having children?

Judging by the existence of BirthStrike, a growing movement of women who are choosing not to have children as a way to protest the climate crisis, it seems that many can’t.

When I heard about BirthStrike founder Blythe Pepino’s decision to be childless in spite of her desire to be a mother, I didn’t find her fear of environmental disaster unreasonable. I’m a millennial. My children’s lives will be affected by the climate crisis. As a mother of four young kids, I would be lying if I did not admit that this reality causes significant dread as I look toward their future. I find the evidence pointing toward climate catastrophe both credible and demanding of a radical response. Still, the question of whether or not you should accept the scientific consensus on environmental issues is outside the scope of this short essay.

Instead, I want to explain why—even though I sympathize with the fears of the BirthStrikers—I think their form of protest is deeply flawed. Although they don’t realize it, their movement reveals that our culture is reaching the depths of despair. We are beginning to embrace the suicide of the human race itself. If an environmental crisis will cause humanity to suffer, the reasoning goes, it is better to accept the bleak, dying world of Children of Men than to bring more children into it.

As Christians, we are called to something more. Our response to this disaster must not give in to despair or fall into the utilitarian trap of weighing every choice on the scales of pleasure versus suffering. Instead, we must bear witness to the inherent goodness of existence, which transcends such rubrics. We must give a hope-filled, Christian response to this question of whether or not to bring new life into a crumbling world.

President Donald Trump is demanding lawmakers raise the second round of stimulus checks to $2,000 per person, from $600.

“I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple,” Trump said in a video posted to Twitter Tuesday night.

While the president did not outright threaten a veto of the $900 billion Covid relief bill, he did call it an unsuitable “disgrace.”

But if you are one of the people eligible for a stimulus check, don’t get your hopes up. The legislation passed both houses of Congress with veto-proof majorities, meaning that Trump is powerless to raise direct payments from $600.

White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Deborah Birx issued a dire warning Sunday, saying the upcoming winter months of the Covid-19 pandemic will be “the worst event that this country will face, not just from a public health side.” Birx and other national health experts have repeatedly warned the coronavirus crisis in the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction ahead of colder temperatures and winter holidays. Daily new infections in the country, as a seven-day average, are at an all-time high and quickly approaching 200,000, according to a CNBC analysis of Johns Hopkins University data.

The property manager was thrilled after assuming she'd bagged a cheap couch.

Pinky told reporters she couldn't wait for her L-shaped patterned sofa, complete with ottoman, to be delivered to her new home.

She'd expected the couch to be big enough for her fiancé, Joseph, 38, and five children to squeeze onto.

Unfortunately, when it arrived, the mom realized it was barely big enough for one person.

Pinky added: "I thought it was going to be an actual sofa, big enough for my living room.

"It didn't say anywhere that it was for a child and it was listed in the living room section on the website.

"It said it seats five so I thought at least the five kids would be able to squeeze on it and I and my fiancé could sit on the beanbags for now."

thank you guys for all of the support.
