I was a witness to this incident that made me suspicious. My Aunt asked me to take her to Walmart to do a moneygram with her. I volunteered to fill out the form so I could see what was going on. The name on the moneygram as the receiver was "Margaret Bateman" from Oklahoma. The amount sent was $125. My Aunt explained to me that she had to call someone to let them know the money gram was sent. I told her to use my cell phone. As I was driving she spoke to this person letting him know that she did the transaction and the name she used was "David". I think he asked her if her bank was open, and it was already 5p our time. She replied to him that it was closed and told him that he could do something on Monday. When she hung up the phone, she told me secretively that if this was going through, she would let me know on Monday. She said she didnʻt want to talk about it cause sheʻs going to wait til Monday. I immediately went home to get online to research this Margaret Bateman and found this site. I feel bad that I couldnʻt prevent this situation, but itʻs really sad this is going on and people like this continue to take advantage of people like my Aunt. I still have to give her the news before Monday. This makes me sick.
The phone number she called was 1800-216-9719
