Who calls from 7879303430

The same exact call happened today 4/7/2012 to my husbands parents. They were extremely worried, but luckily they had just watched a special report one day earlier about the scam so they knew not to give any info. They did also call the police and filed a report.

This # called with a scam that my brother had been kid nap and that he would not be released until money was wired. Police report was foled. PS i dont have a brother

This number just called my wife. They told her that his brother have had an accident in Miami Garden.We called him and he was not even in Miami....we did a police report

I got this number called me today:

Friday, July 6 11:26 AM - from a "Rafael" guy he said: "Hello, you speak spanish?" (in heavy Puerto Rican spanish accent), to which I said "Yes". He continued "There"s being an accident, HE gave me your phone for a family to reach out" and hung up. This was the first suspicion I had. He hanged up. So I called all my immediate relatives, they were all ok. I no longer live in Orlando, FL (they"re calling with a Puerto Rico number but they are located in Orlando, FL) so I got more suspicious. They called a second time, 11.58 AM. He said "Hello, this is Rafy, who is this?" To which I said nothing, only asked "So, what is this incident about, who is involved, what are we talking about here?". He asked "What incident?" and hung up. The most important part here is, even when I got very stressed about the possibility of something really going on, that I never TOLD HIM ANYTHING, gave no names, nothing. So, even when under stress, keep calm and ask the basic questions:

1) If my "relative" told you to call me, why are you asking me if I speak spanish? He surely knows I do!
2) Why no names, no information given?
3) Why no one else (Police, other) is calling me within the first 30 minutes?
4) Why are they hanging up?

Needless to say, this was stressful nevertheless. The phone is a mobile from AT&T in Orlando, FL. Orlando PD criminal investigation said (I called them this morning) it is a SCAM going on.

Good luck, and if you"re the criminal who is doing this and reading right now, I"m not hoping, I know you"ll burn in !@#$%^&* hell if there"s one. And if not, one will get created just for you.

This number called my mother threatening that they had her son and demanding she go and drop off money for his safe release. They didn\"t say names or put her son on the phone or even use his name. It was a complete scam to try to get her to wire money and meet them somewhere with the money walgreens or cvs. BEWARE! Police report was filed.
