This happened to a friend of mine.
What happened was she received a call (today) from, (347) 513-5100 and this VERY heavily accented man "claimed" his name was John Wilson (a name he changes every time). He claimed my friend's friend had some legal money trouble and her name was used as a "family gatherer" or some BS. Don't believe any of it!
They got your name & number somehow from a scam website (probably your friend put your name & number down as a "beneficiary" to receive money on some scam pop-up) and "claim" they have your SS# and Drivers License #. If you call this person back ask them to repeat your SS# and see if he can because I don't believe they have it (if he does THAN REPORT TO POLICE RIGHT AWAY). It's a scam, they want money from you, don't believe it.
