I got a phone message from tel no. 704-765-2129, the guy named Salman Masso was looking for my daughter because of a certain case number that needs further personal info from my daughter. The guy got my daughter's name correctly, but mentioned a vague sounding family name not hers. The guy mentioned the last four digits of my daughter's social security, which was correct. The message said that my daughter should submit the required info, otherwise she shall be in big trouble. When I called said 704 number, a male voice answered and said that he is from the office of Detection for Financial Fraud. When inqured if he knew my daughter's family name, he told me to hold on coz he is going to check his records. Then the phone just went silent, and I waited for abour 15 min more and the phone was off at the other end. I called again, but this time, it was just an answering machine.
My main concern is no other than the STRESS that this call has created in our family, and worst my daughter who knew nothing about a case file that the guy was saying about.
this abhorrent act should be put to an end. Am going to report this number plus the recorded message to the authorities concerned.
