Similar story, mother killed by drunk driver, stranded in FL with broken tie rod needs $124.28 for bus ticket. Said he had visited the church but thought the pastor was a male.
Rex Anthony Mires called from this number and said he was stranded in Florida originally from Hagerstown and needed money from Western Union, we traced and no one went to the station that we were verifying, so we assume con man.
A man called our church on Saturday, December 6, 2008, giving us the name of Tony Mires. He told us that his mother had been in an accident and he wanted to speak to the pastor. He said he visited our church six months ago, which is not true. He asked that the pastor call him and gave the number 612-607-2671. When he was asked which pastor he wanted to call him, he abruptly hung up.
It is our opinion that Tony Mires is a con man, so beware. The name that came up on our caller ID was Scott Myers (different spelling).
This guy has called my house twice now. Same story has visited the church before, he is in Florida because his mother was killed by a drunk driver. The number shows up ask a mobile number in MN.
I also got the same call on Dec 8, at 12AM! He got very defensive and called me a liar when I told him that I was checking out his story and saw his name and number on this post.
The same man, but by the name Scott Corrin, called our house at 3:04 AM and said that his Mother was killed by a drunk driver and said that he was stranded and asked to get ticket money for Greyhound to get him and his family home from Florida. He claims that he visited our church 5 weeks ago and has 2 small daughters, ages 3 & 4. He said that we said his daughters were "so beautiful".
