My uncle in Montana got a call today from this number from someone claiming to be his grandson (who is my cousin). He was crying and said he was in jail in Mexico for 30 days or $2,000 in bail money from a credit card number. He said his friend Kevin from high school was killed by a drunk driver and Kevin's father sent him a ticket to come to Mexico for the funeral. He got stopped because he was driving a friends car and they found drugs in the car. Kevin is a real person and a friend of my cousins. He got mad and hung up after my uncle told him he didn't have that kind of money. He knew my aunt and uncle's name as well. We called my cousin and he was at home sleeping. We called the police and they said they couldn't do anything unless the credit card number was given to the scammer. A reverse phone search says the number is a land line.
Got call saying they were from some technology company and wanted to tell us something about our computer. My wife handed me the phone and they hung up.
I have been getting calls from this guy for over a month. Each time I trace the nbr. Finally I called my phone company who has now blocked the nbr along with another nbr they call from internationally which is 252 678 780 309.... It was reported to me that the International call is coming from Somalia. The numbers are currently under investigation. ~
Someone named Chris Johnson with Johnson Construction called our business asking for the president by his name and said I'm sorry I lost his cell number what is the number again. We said hold on one second I will get it for you and put him on hold to ask anyone in the office if they knew who this was because we don't give out that info over the phone. He hung up while he was on hold for a total of 10 seconds. *69 the number and found this. We get harassing calls like this all of the time. Apparently people have way too much free time.
