I was just scammed said grandson in a car wreck and nose broken. . . other number used supposedly to the embassy of Spain was (1-877-454-2241 EXT 138). Just lost $4000.
1/31/12; 9:30 AM CA; Caller claimed to be the oldest Grandson, even knew his name. Same story with the broken nose and asking for money. But my Grandmother asked him what she used to call him when he was little. The guy didn't have the answer for that. My Grandma hung up the phone.
Got a call saying it was from oldest grandson ( I have none).
Asked for fried chicken, said he needed comfort food because he was in
car accident and hurt his nose. I got off and he never called back.

My parents were contacted from a lock smith company with this number coming up on their caller ID (407) 956-4271. My mom thought it might be her grandson since its an Orlando area code and he lives down there. The caller pretended to be her grandson and said he had broken his nose in a car accident so his voice was different. The caller wanted $2200 until an insurance settlement came in next week. She told him to call me (his dad) if he needed a loan and when she did this the caller reduced his money request to $1000 then hung up. I spoke to my son and asked him if he had called his grandparents to ask for a loan he said he had not and would not do such a thing. I did a web search on the number and found an assortment of complaints from people trying to be scammed out of money by someone calling from this number.
