Lmao they called ma mama and told her that he was like a lost cousin and my mom kept asking for his name but he wouldn't give it to her. Obviously my mom knew this guy was a fake so she kept interrogating him. YA know, for fun. Then he changed his story and yeah guys but srsly this was obviously the work of scammers so please be careful to who you give your info to.
A spanish speaking man called. He knew my name and said he was my childrens cousin. He sounded like an older gentleman and said he wasnt far from where i live (knew the town i was near) and said he was coming to visit me and my children because he 'missed them' i then called my kids actual cousin and he said that he had been at work all day and hadnt called us. very scarey. he knew where we live. please please be careful when answering this unknown number. we will be calling the police station and telling them of this.
this is a spanish seeking person who said he was a nephew. I didn't recognize his voice and he kept on nagging until i finally said "then whats your moms name?" and then he hung up.

This is all part of the well known "grandparent" or "family member" scam. Don't answer, don't call back, don't give any information. They will call again and need money because of an emergency. Here is some info and some other numbers reported with the same scam here on 800 notes.
