Just got a call from a strange caller just now asking to speak to my father. Caller said he was in town and wanted to meet up an pretended he was a decent cousin. I don't reanalyze his voice so I ask who this was and who he was related to. He hung up, I tried to call back but was unable to connect.

Sounds like a typical scam artist trying to extort money. Pretending to be a distant cousin, in town, short of cash; whatever. I suggest not answering if the number calls again, and do NOT call them back.

I agree I was recently called with this number and told this exact thing. when we said we don't have a cousian by that name they hung up.

i want to say thank you for posting this as it seems as it is a scam and definitely helped me out
