******************THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!************DO NOT ANSWER COLLECT CALLS!!!!!****
This morning I received a call on the land line…we usually listen for the message to begin and answer if we know who it is. The message was along the lines of, “will you accept these charges…” well, thinking it could be one of my sons (yes, in jail…I know, a mother’s worst fear…at least one of them. And don’t we always think the worst?). So I picked it up and on the other end was a guy calling from a county jail. He thought he had dialed one of his neighbors. And he asked me (even though he figured out that I wasn’t one of his neighbors) if I would please call his wife and let her know where he was and that he had the kids with him. And that he needed his license which he left at home in his wallet. I told him I would. He gave me his name and his wife’s name and her work number. He asked “You WILL call her as soon as we hang up won’t you?” . And I did. I only got her voice mail but left her a detailed message about his situation. I never heard back from either of them (complete strangers both) as to whether or not she did get the message and was able to go to her husband. I was so very tempted to call her work number again just to check. But didn’t.
Some unexpected Karma going out!!!
I was scammed!!!!
