Just received a call from a scumbag at this number.
Identified himself as an EMT. Claimed he was calling to let me know a man was in critical condition at Florida Hospital and had given my name as a contact person.
He asked my name and then, fortunately, the call was disconnected and he didn't call back.
Very noisy background.
Sorry to hear it. Make sure you make a police report on this matter. Also when you do make a report, print out this page, to let the police know how extensive it is. How did you pay them. If you used a Green dot money pak or similar device your money is gone. If you used a credit or debit card go back to the bank and see if the transaction can be reversed.
