Just got a call from this [***] and he said the same story to me about my brother. Said he was a paramedic and that he was holding my brother hostage for the car accident thing. Same fight, needs stitches on the head and that his niece got hurt so my brother must pay for it. He doesn't let you talk to them or anything so it started to get fishy at that point. After having my husband call them to make sure they're ok, the call was ended. Very intense call, they don't let you think. Hope someone catches these extortionists.
The caller states he is a paramedic and requests money. IT is a phone scam....do not give this person any money....call your loved one or text them. I promise it is a common scam....
Received a call yesterday, acutually my daughter did, from this number. They are very pushy, uses tons of curse words, and very violent. Basically said that if I didn't give them money they were going to kill my husband. The caller says that there was a car accident, and then a fight broke out. Said that they had my husband tied up in the projects and if I didn't give them money, they would kill him. Thankfully I was able to get a hold of my husband while on the phone with this lunatic and they hung up on me right away. Don't fall for it! Hang up and call your loved one immediately to check in.

This number called my 84 year old father today and told him if he did not pay $3000.00 he would hurt his daughter and grandchild. Trying to locate the owner of this phone number.
The probabilities of you finding the real caller are not very good. A lot of these callers are from foreign country's spoofing numbers that could or could not be someone's real phone number. Best to report the calls.. let the authority's handle this.
