Called us at 10AM on a SATURDAY. Caller ID said "MINNEAPOLIS, MN." Unknown who this is; another site says this is an INVALID and therefore SPOOFED number (perhaps there is no '402' exchange in that area code?) Picked up/hung up to stop the call w/o answering it. At 1:15 we got ANOTHER call from that same CID but with the number 651-424-0226. Guess Muhammed doesnt know that MASS and MINN are not near each other!
Best Guess is this is the Energy Scam (that seems to have been resurrected again after a few weeks of lull around the holidays, when the 'charity' scams were bit.) OR another 'charity' scam.
Interestingly enough, a family member traveled to INDIA for three weeks in January 2017. Stayed at small hotels & B&Bs. ONE he had booked turned out to be a SCAM: filthy dirty & BUGGY. They had a '2 week' cancellation policy. Nice. You book, you refuse due to conditions, you still pay. Had to give 'emergency contact' number which is the one we got this call on. Wondering if the two are connected since there are relatively few comments here. "Selective" Scam??? Small time scammers?
