This number was given to me by a man saying he was a lawyer for my niece who he said was in jail because she was unable to pay for damages to another's rental car in an auto accident. The guy phoned my elderly mother claiming that he was hired by her to get her out of jail but the $2400.00 would need to be wired to Puerto Rico, saying that's where the person she hit, lived. He gave his name as "Brian Hastings" and said his secretary's name was Vivian. He gave this telephone no. which showed up as a CAnadian number but did not answer when I later tried to call it.
It was so phoney and as soon as I said I would be calling the court to confirm that she was in jail, he got angry, saying that only he could have contact with her. I explained that our legal system didn't operate that way and that first I was going to call my niece. He then hung up. I reported it to FTC.
