I just got a phone call from 267-455-0997. The gentleman said he was calling from Global Reverse Mortgage Company and his name was Winston Peter. So as I was listening to him talk I notice that this same particular voice has called me on many occasions about different other company names. He said that they are targeting towards the senior citizens community for Reverse Mortgage Loans. So I started asking him a series of questions that he could not answer and he wanted me to speak with his loan officer. I explained to him that I knew he was scamming people and he said that he wasn't but from the general questions that I asked him he could not answer. So I told him that I would reporting him cause he's trying to take elderly people money. So I hung up the phone and tried calling the number that showed up and the message said that the number you are trying to call is not in service.
