About a month ago in May 2016 my father got a inbound telephone call by a male person saying he's with the local police department doing a fund raising. My father forgot to take a look at caller ID and got scammed for Fifty dollars charged to his credit card . Just last week in June 2016 the same person called back for another donation to the police fund drive.
I answered the phone checked the caller ID 570 Area Code isn't in TX but instead located in FRACKVILLE, PA and I Blocked that Number!
