A call came through on my cell phone.  I answered the voice call and the person asked for certain name).   This was very strange to me because the person they asked for was my ex-stepmother who divorced my Dad back in 1993.  I asked for a middle initial "just in case" and the middle initial was correct.  I told her I havent't spoken to this person in 3 years - which is the truth, but it was very strange.   I should have asked for a company name, but figured it was a bill collector, my ex-stepmother ran up a huge debt in my Dad's name and he had passed away 3 years ago.  I googled area code 806 and found out about the scams.    All I can say is Thank You for the postings.
