He's expanding his network, called to Texas - same story, so this site was helpful..., preys upon church's hoping to touch their generosity and willingness to help. Beware - don't give him money. Is using another number now: 321-576-2118
Guy named Scott Korn called the church with story: mom killed by drunk driver, car threw a rod, need bus tickets, use money gram at Walmart, needs $124.12. Got us, beware! Found this sight too late, but he had used a different number.
Man claiming to be "Scott Corn" called and told a sob story about his wife and him and 2 little girls being stranded in Florida after their car, 92 olds, threw a rod. Really nice story. He was at his mother's funeral, she was killed in a an accident by a drunk driver, blah, blah, blah... told me where the funeral was and I called and there was no funeral, no obituary to be found online (and they always are online these days), called him back and told him I couldn't give him money because I couldn't confirm his story- and he hung up. Then found this site. THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN MONEY. For that matter, don't give money- pay for something directly but don't give cash....
Scott Corn ... I have spent the last 2 hours trying to verify this guy's story. After trying unsuccessfully to validate the church where the funeral was held, the actual cost of the bus ticket, even the home address he provided, I decided to do a reverse phone number look up and stumbled onto this site. Thanks a ton for the info. I was torn between is the guy a crook or is he legit. Now I know!!!!

Same thing happened to me except I got a voicemail from the guy saying to call him back and it was concerning a death. I was concerned so I tried calling him back. No answer. I'm glad I found this site.
