Be aware of scam from cell 347-205-7737...
They just tried to scam my father, and he called me about it.
They never identify themselves. They use one of 3 scams.
1. you won and I-Pad ad want your credit card no. and Info(including SS No.)
2. They are hold family member (wife or child usually) hostage and want you to send $1700 right away via Western Union, before you can check it out.
3. And their most favorite... Someone (usually tell you a relative, usually a female) in car accident at a gas station in middle of no where. They are hold them there till someone pays damages of $1700. They usually want it sent Western Union.
The number is to a prepaid cell, in the Bronx. I got a location of E. 223 St. by Bronx River Pkwy from a paid reverse phone look up site. Here is link to them and complaints listed....

From what I get from complaints, 2 males with Hispanic accent, both seem to prefer speak Spanish but do also talk in English. Ive tried to report it to the Cops, they said nothing they could do about it. So much for their help. I figure it only a matter of time before they try to get people to meet them in person. Everyone please be careful dealing with them. Best thing, is just hang up on the.
Latest cell ping, now puts them at Cross Bronx Epwy and Boston Rd, so apparently they are moving.
