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.
My grandmother has received two calls, but this is the first time I'm searching the phone number. The first time someone called claiming to be her grandson. Didn't know his name. When my grandma said "Steve" he replied with yes. Now, mind you, my cousins all live in Tennessee and have very thick southern accents. This man did not. My grandma didn't realize at first that it wasn't the right person, but when she said she didn't have any money, the caller hung up.
The second time happened this morning (from this number) with the same story about getting into a car accident and broke their nose. They made no reference to their voice being different due to the broken nose. When my grandma was going to ask them where to send the money (playing along with it), the caller hung up and didn't return the call.
