My husbad called from his cell in afganistan. Normally the caller ID has "unknown caller" but today it had "private name" 910-778-7116 as the number. I almost missed his call because I wasn't going to answer. His number is an overseas number and not even remotely close to this number.
I received a call from this number, and the person had a very heavy accent that made it difficult to understand. He said he was calling from Madrid Spain. When I questioned how that could be possible when it was showing up as a NC call, he said he was at a phone booth. I knew this had to be something fishy. He said his name was Frankleen Sado, I hung up, googled the name and his name is connected to the Nigerian Scammers. They are now using all kinds of schemes to steal from innocent Americans. If anyone receive anything from this guy, just know it is a SCAM...
They called about 4 times. One guy, then a girl, both asking for my wife. didn't speak english well. She couldn't deviate from the script, got frustrated when I started yelling at her on the phone, kept trying to go back to the script. I knew it was a scam when I heard it on the answering machine.
They wanted to verify something about my visa ending in XXXX (we don't have a visa). It's called phishing, and it is definitely a scam. I told them I had their number and threatened to call the police. Then I kept calling their number. I'm pretty sure there is an FBI office that deals with this. It is my next step.
