Just happened to me! Caller claimed he was a paramedic at Florida Hospital and he was with a man that lost a lot of blood. I was listed as the emergency contact and I asked who it was, he said he didn't know but he was driving a 2014 Nissan Altima. I told him I didn't know anyone with that type car!
I also had a similar situation from the same phone number on Sept 19,2015. After informing me that my son lost a lot of blood and was at Florida hospital; they proceeded to tell me my son hit his son. They were holding my son hostage until I bring money to the "projects"; since they do not deal with the police. These low life people traumatized me. Once I verified my son was ok they hung up the phone. Do not answer this call. I have reported to the police.
This happened to us Saturday Sept 28th. I was out for the day doing something for work and was having trouble communicating. When I last spoke to my husband the call dropped. A couple of hours later he received the call. Because no one could communicate with me he did what he was told and they took us for all we had.
They called with the story that I was in an accident and had hit someone on a motorcycle. Supposedly the brother of the person I hit had pistol whipped me and they had taken me. He had two options. Send all the money he could come up with and they would leave me at the nearest hospital, if he didn't I'd be dead. Oddly enough I've been really sick and I'm in need of surgery so my husband couldn't think straight. He sent the money, waited at the nearest florida hospital as he was told. He was looking for me when I called him that I was home. He reported it to the cops but our money was already gone.
I've been trying to trace the number and find out anything I could, but there are a lot of dead ends. I wonder if anyone else who's been scammed had a recent stay at a hospital. From what I've found online that seems to be the only common thread, and the story they use of course.
She probably did a reverse search on the net, which means nothing for 2 reasons. First, phone numbers are spoofed and many times they are the numbers of an innocent party. Second, the reverse look up featur as well as the sites that sell information are notoriously erroneous.
