Called saying he was from an insurance company and knew the dates that my mother-in-law was in the hospital when she died last November. Wife did not give him any information. Curious as to how he knew this detailed information already. Difficult to understand him due to his accents.
Got a call from a man with a Nigerian accent. Said he's calling from Memphis Power and Light, that my service is going to be shut off from non-payment. So far off base. Total nonsense.
Called with heavy African accent, line was very broken up so I asked him to call right back, but the problem persisted. Said he was with PGE calling about a past due balance requiring payment. So my local power company is employing Nigerian-accented callers via Ontario to call us about money? Scam city.
Automated message claimed that my prepaid debit card had been affected by fraud, and if I wanted to re-start it I had to enter my 12 digit card number.... I don't have a prepaid debit card so I knew it was bogus, but if I did have one, and if they had succeeded to concern me, I likely would have entered my number, and they would have stolen my prepaid card!!!
