Sometimes strange things happen that we can’t explain. This is what one employee experienced when the police checked on her because she hadn’t been seen at work for two weeks.
The only issue the co-worker was concerned about was that the woman was working from home.
One woman said her co-workers called police to check on her because she missed work despite working remotely.
TikToker Cheryl recently shared a story about how she was visited by the police for strange reasons.
“Okay, something weird happened,” Cheryl said. “I’m a little surprised.”
Cheryl explained that some unexpected visitors showed up at her door. “So I just got a knock on the door and it was two police officers and a social worker. They said they were here to check on me,” she said. .
The three officials told Sherrill, “I received a call from someone I work with who informed me that I hadn’t been to work for two weeks, so they came to give me a medical check.”
There was just one problem. “This is kind of weird since I work remotely, right?” she asked.
Cheryl explained that not only is she working remotely, but she also interacts with her co-workers throughout the day. “I’m in meetings with my colleagues almost every day, and I’m active in Teams every day. They know I’m here, I’m OK, I’m here. “Work, I’m on the clock. It’s like my boss is watching me work,” she said.
Even weirder, Cheryl said, He said, “I asked for the name of the person who called, and it was a name I had never heard before, and it was not a name that was familiar to anyone in the company or to anyone in human resources. ”. Just to be sure, I searched for that name in our small employee directory. there is nothing. “

Fellow TikTok users were very concerned about the incident.
Cheryl’s fellow TikTokers were concerned about her health following the medical exam. He suspected that they had something darker going on.
One person pointed out, “I think someone is stalking me.”
“I’m concerned so I’m going to call my local police station to make sure they’re genuine,” someone else said.

Another theory that quickly spread is identity theft. “Check your credit score and SSN,” someone advised. “Maybe there’s been a data breach, and they’re doing a job using your information.”
It is possible to steal someone’s identity in order to get a job in your name. According to Equifax, “Occupational identity theft is illegal and once reported, government agencies such as the IRS, Social Security Administration (SSA), and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) work together to correct false information. To do. “
Cheryl had no idea that something so sinister was going on.
Cheryl wasn’t as worried about what happened as others. “I’m sure they were actually real police officers,” she said. “Besides the fact that they were in uniform and there were two police cars out front, I also saw a photo of one of them on the police department’s website.”
Cheryl also didn’t think anyone had made a false report. “No one I’m close to in my life would have a reason to do that,” she said. “I don’t eat beef with anyone.”
That left her with two options as to what happened. “Either someone stole my identity or they came to a different house and were actually planning on checking on other people. I think it’s the latter,” she explained.
Luckily, nothing bad seems to be happening to Cheryl. This seems like a strange but really simple case of mistaken identity.
