    It is not difficult to be a victim of police impersonation. In the US or else where, face to face or over the phone.
    "The 2012 study examined 56 police impersonation episodes from May 2002 to February 2010 from
    three U.S. metropolitan areas, dealing with 63 offenders and 71 victims." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_impersonation
