Scott Korum (Spelled it out for me) called our pastor who referred him to me...he was very persistent and had an answer for every one of my questions. Before attempting to wire money, I prayed that if wasn't legit, God would stop it from going through. The wire transfer could not be completed because of verification issues. I called him back and told him I couldn't help him, he became very distressed, put his "wife", Maryanne, on the phone for a few minutes to tell me how disappointed they were that they couldn't go home...and how they had recently been converted and prayed and read their Bible every day. I decided to try one more thing...I called Greyhound and they told me that the bus didn't even stop in Fern Park, Fl. I called him back, told him there was too much information that I could not verify and that he should go to the local police station, they would connect him with someone who could help...He hung up on me!! I should have checked him out online first!!
At 5:30 am the morning of October 14th, I got a call from this number on my home phone...my answer machine picked it up and it was a person who identified himself as Scott, asking me to call back about a desk. Looked up the number on google and I am thankful to find this post...I will not return the call. Wonder how in the world he got my home phone #??
Called me in sept same story we wired him $200! May we pray for this man's soul, his heart has been so hardened that he has resorted to stealing from churches. I got Jim on the phone today and he told mr he was working asked if he could
Call me back and then Hung up on me.
Same guy called our church in Iowa, said he met me at church about a month ago, didn't know the name of the church or my name. Said he had twin daughters Denise and Jessica. He hung up when I asked him the name of the church he was calling.
This man called the parsonage home phone here in Iowa this evening at 11 pm. I was not home and my wife took the message for me to call him back. I don't plan to do that. Thanks for posting the warnings
