Person called to tell me that there's been an accident and the victims gave him my number. I asked him to ask the victim for his name, he said the victims can't talk. They wrote my number down. I then told him to ask the victim to write down his name. He said the victims are in critical condition, they're bleeding and they are at his house. I told him "who in case of emergency would call their family member first instead of calling 911"
The same thing happened to my mother today. This guy went by the name of Robert and told my mom that her daughter was just in an accident. I am considering of contacting the authorities. My mom got a big scare since she is elderly.
Samething I just got a call 2 hours ago, the guy said my husband got into an accident and he doesnt want me to call the police. I called my husband and he was fine. I sent the number to the authorities and instead of investigating or calling the number they said "it happens all the time". Awesome justice system -.-
A person who spoke Spanish called me and asked if I understood Spanish. When I said that I did not speak Spanish, he put his "cousin" on the phone who spoke broken English. The purported cousin went on to ask if I had a brother or father. I replied that I had a brother. He then stated that my brother was in a car accident with his friend or cousin and that my brother refused to pay for the property damage. He stated that he was holding my brother hostage in a room in his apartment. If I did not agree to wire $600, then the person on the phone said that his friend or cousin was going to "put a bullet in his head." I played along and said that we should meet so I could give him the money in person. He was adament that I must send the money by wire transfer.
I'm most worried about the elderly who I suspect that these people are defrauding.
