I was called at 252pm by Tony with the heavy accent telling me my father was in a car accident with Tony's cousin. He was screaming at me and telling me that his cousin was crazy and a fugitive and had gotten into it with my father beacuse my father was calling the police about the accident. Tony stated that his cousin pulled out a gun at my father and took his phone and demanded $6000 from my father for the cost of the damage my father did to Tony's cousin's BMW. Yes I stayed on the phone to listen to the entire story and he was scaring me because he would not stop screaming at me. I was at work so I picked up another phone and called my father who was fine. THIS IS A SCAM! 90% of me knew it was incredulous but 10% of me was scared DO NOT BE FOOLED by this jerk! These are professionals who prey on people daily.

Prankster tried to tell me my brother was in a bad car accident. Called 3 times in a row until I answered. I don't have a brother so luckily I knew it was a fake immediately.
Feel bad for the prankster, he has a lot of negative karma coming to him!
Same guy called my dad today from # 617 459 3412 claiming I hit this guy's sibling's car/demanding cash as his sibling is an illegal immigrant so can't take the proper actions to receive compensation or something equally flaky. got some texts from my dad, where you in an accident today???
thankfully i wasn't in an accident, but this schmuck is clearly making the rounds looking to fleece some innocent sheep.
Got a call today around 10:30am and the guy says my brother's been in an accident and asks my brothers name. Now, my brother lives out of state and this is a local number. When I refuse to give the name he hangs up on me. I call back and ask what his name is....he says "Tony". I ask again where the accident is and he won't tell me...phone goes dead. He even texted me saying this: "You answer my question with a question,ms. I can't help you that way".
I too received a call but was able to confirm my brother was OK while the jerk was on the line. He kept texting me (3 times). He threatened to come kill me. I called the police and they filed a report. Can't they trace this jerk from his cell phone calls? Probably a stolen phone....
