My mother-in-law received a call from a man today posing as her nephew, saying he needed money right away wired to him because he had an accident and didn't have insurance, he needed money to pay the man he hit. Caller didn't want her to call his mom, saying that his mom was sick. She believed it was her nephew, but she always refers people asking for money to my husband, her son, and gave the caller my husband's number. The caller called my husband and spoke to him repeating needed money wired to him right away and that he was on his way to town to cash a check and would pay back the money. Everything started to sound too weird, especially when my husband tried to call back the number on caller id which is this number 331-271-7059, and recording stated disconnected. He texted the number for the caller to call back, and he did. No money was wired, because my husband told the caller he was on job site and would not be able to do anything until tomorrow. After discussing the details of the caller's requests, we suspected something not right, prompting me to do a search on the number and found this blog.
