Received a call from 417-396-5790 claiming to have found a valuable family heirloom that was lost. I am in NJ, the call came from Joplin Mo. Jeff is the supposed caller, claimed not to have a camera phone to take a picture & send me a picture of the item in question. When I pressed for a picture, became very very defensive. I knew then he was scamming me.

I'm sorry for not being more detailed, the heirloom was lost before Christmas & the lost & found ad was placed on Craigslist locally. Received a call from this same phone number over a week ago & since I didn't know the number I didn't pick up. No voice mail was left. Today I re-posted my ad in hopes of finding the person that found the ring, once again I got a call within an hr from the same number in Joplin, Mo. When I asked to see a picture before wiring any money, this is when the called "Jeff" got defensive & acted like I was asking for too much to see a picture of the heirloom before sending money to him. BEWARE!!!
