My friend posted this on facebook...be aware that now is the season to rip people off...
NEW SCAM going around, while at my mom's her phone rang she answered it and listened while shaking her head, she then hung up, we asked who was that.. she says some scam artist .. well it rang again so I answered it, some guy with who I could hardly understand asked for my dad, I explained he was no longer there, he asked where he was...lol.. I said heaven, you have the # for there? He says no...lol Of course by then it was hard not to laugh.. so to make a long story short, I made out I was mom, he asked my age, if I had ever worked, asked if I had a driver's license, a passport and a coin card...I then asked what's a coin card? He says you get them at either Walmart or Walgreens. He said you get a coin card, with green dot, scratch off and put 100.00 bucks on it. Then he said UPS would bring the million dollar check if I had all three of what he asked for. Then asked how long would it take for me to pick up the coin card.. I said 2 hours, he then said he was going to call back to make sure I had the coin card... Of course I had no plans of doing so, I knew at this point this guys was full of it...but I played along. So after we hung up I called UPS...sure enough they said if ever they were going to deliver a check it would be certified ...lol .... SO ANYONE OUT THERE RECIEVES A CALL LIKE THIS ...TELL EM YOU KNOW SOMEONE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND YOUR GOING TO GIVE EM A CALL TO REPORT THE CALL... he should hang up at this point..lol..
