Just got a call from this number but of course I didn't pick up. I've been getting these long distance scam calls recently. I think my number is on some spam calling list
The long distance calls I received last Saturday were made with a calling card. Nothing to do with fraud. My friend wasn't even calling from Toronto. : )
I work at my local police dept as a civillian and received a call from elderly female who reported someone called her claiming to be her grandson. He said he was in an accident in Canada and needed her to wire her $2800 or he wouldn't be released from jail. The number was 416 238 0000. She didn't fall for it.
I also received a call yesterday saying he was my grandson, Matt and that he was in the hospital after having an accident with his rented car in London, England. He was so belivable that I was ready to send him $2,700 by Western Union but thank God I called my son and he told me Matt was on a cruise and it was a sham. When the caller's partner (John Wilson) called back for the tracking number two hours later I told him the money wasn't coming. This morning I received another call saying "Hi Grandma. This is you grandson Johnathan." When I said I didn't have a grandson by that name he said he had the wrong number and hung up. I am sure he got my name from Facebook.
