The caller was fishing for information. She sounded like a semi-literate elderly lady but that's probably part of the scam. She was looking for a relative of an elderly lady. I believe this is the scam where the caller claims that a family member is "in trouble" (emergency room, jail, etc.) and needs cash fast. The caller tries to get a credit card number. They prey on the elderly, mostly. I'm contacting the police in Missouri about this caller first thing Monday morning. I'm glad I taped the call.
Scam caller. Claims to be looking for a contact for a family member. Claims the family member they try to reach has a phone that is "out of service". Dropped the name of a local Dr. but couldn't come up with a reason for calling.
The caller ID comes up as Mar Bichelmeyer.
