I received 3 phone calls from an individual identifying himself as a barrister from South Africa.  He called at 3:21 a.m., 6:59 a.m. and at 9:12 a.m.  I answered the first call and the third.  He was very difficult to understand and I indicated that he needed to identify the individual for which he was calling.  He would not give me a name or I was unable to understand what he was saying.  After the first call, I researched the area code and discovered it was from Mississippi.  When he called the third time, I asked for vital information and when it was identified that I knew the area code was from Mississippi, he hung up.  In an attempt to verify that this call was unlawful and suspicious, I called the number back and it was "disconnected".

This number has called me a few times but I have not answered. About the South Africa guy, my grandmother was contacted by them and is wiring money to them and saying he is her friend. She is in major debt now and is losing her house. But she still thinks he is her friend from Africa. My mother has an attorney friend who I guess is supposed to do something about it, but I have yet to see results. The next time they call me I'm going to say "911 what's your emergency..."
