This person called and said he was my uncle and that he was coming in to suprise us then called about 10 min later and said he had an accident and needed money. He said he was going to call back and check to see if I was able to get some money for him. I just won't answer.

This person called and said he was my nephew and that he was coming in from Texas, if i would receive him in my home. I thought iit was suspicous so i told my daughter and i left to work. He called back 30 minutes later and my daughter answered and he thoughgt it was me... when he realized that it wasnt me he told my daughter that he was her cousin and that he was calling from South Carolina. Then my daughter said "we dont have family in SC" and he hung up.
