The same man, but by the name Scott Koren, wife named Maryann called our church at 12:45pm and said that his Mother was killed by a drunk driver and said that he was stranded in Winter Springs, FL. He told me that his car, '91 Olds,had blown a rod and he needed ticket money for Greyhound to get him and his family home from Florida.  He claims that he visited our church weeks ago and has 2 small daughters, ages 3 & 4 named Jessica and Denise. BEWARE.

Also check number: 612-607-2671

Beware that man is a con-artist.

RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THIS NUMBER AND SPOKE WITH SCOTT KOREN AT 6:35 AM ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH, 2009.
HE RELATED A STORY ABOUT HIS MOM BEING KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER.
HE AND HIS WIFE AND HIS TWO LITTLE GIRLS ARE TRAVELING BACK HOME TO FLORIDA, HE SYAS, FROM THE FUNERAL, AND HIS 91 OLDS THREW A ROD.
HW WAS ON I-4 NEAR ORLANDO AND HAD TO PAY CASH FOR THE TOW OFF OF THE INTERSTATE, HE SAID.
HE WAS ASKING FOR ME TO WIRE MONEY TO HIM BY WESTERN UNION TO PAY FOR GREYHOUND BUS TICKETS IN ORDER TO GET HOME.
WHEN I ASKED HOW HE GOT MY NUMBER HE SAID HE GOT IT WHEN VISITING MY CHURCH. THERE WAS A CHURCH BULLETIN IN HIS CAR, HE TOLD ME.
I ASKED A FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY SPECIFIC LOCATION AND MY CHURCH AND HE QUICKLY HUNG UP THE PHONE.
HE SURE SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM ARTIST TO ME.

Same story!  Received a call from Scott Korenn (he spelled it with 2 n's this time) at 11:45 am on Nov. 7, 2009.  Called with the same story about Mom killed in FL by a drunk driver, stranded vehicle on highway (threw a rod), needs money for family to get home, met me when he was in church with two daughters.
Requested $125.

Thanks to all who have written about this before!
He contacted me a month ago with the same story claimed that he had found my number because of some church material he had received from us. He just called again today.
