My godmother was just about scammed yesterday.
Someone called and her husband answered, she was out shopping. It was their "grandson." He was in an car accident and he hurt a person. He needed $6500 right away or he was going to jail. She got home and Dave was so upset on the phone, he had already given their address for his lawyer to come pick up the money. On her phone she called her daughter, and was told he's sitting right here. She grabbed the other phone and told them to **** off. She then called the police.
Lots of garbage folks out there.

Every single DUmmie was scammed on November 3, 2020 unfortunately we are the ones paying for it.

1. She got an email from EarlG?  

2. That phone scam is so old I think it predates cell phones. I might have still had hair when it got started!

And secondly they never come get it, they want it done through western union or some other means other than face to face..
