So I get a call from my dad today, he said that they just got a call and drug dealers have my sister and they are gonna kill her if I don't pay them $600 that I owe them. It all started that my sister got a call from a Chicago number saying that they were the Chicago police and that me and my dad were in a fatal car accident so they needed my moms number. My sister gave them my moms number and they called her and said that I was driving a drug dealers car and crashed it and they have my sister and they are gonna kill her if my parents don't pay them the $600 that I owe them. I called my sister and she was safe at her friends house, I rushed to pick her up while my dad called the police. We have no idea of how they knew my family enough to know how we were related.
The same thing happened to me. I told them if there is an accident call the police. He (Spanish sounding voice) got angry and hung up. That number is in the north Chicago area.
They did the same to me a few days ago. They must have really perfected their story, because they knew all the right things to say. I have reported this to my local police. Unfortunately, since the call originated outside of the jurisdiction, they could do nothing about it.
Wow, this just happened to me, saying my dad was involved in an accident... and the scariest part was that when I asked him to describe the vehicle and the driver, he described them perfectly along with my dad's medical information as well... Scary scary world we live in...
Same here, saying my brother was in an accident and that they were holding him at gun point. I called my brother on the other line to make sure he was ok. They hung up when I called their bluff .... However, it was scary because they knew his name.
