A friend received a phone call from a scammer. The phone call sounds just like a number of email phishing scams I receive although I have never heard of them on the phone. Here is an account of the phone conversation.

I answered the phone and a person with a indian accent said I had a cashiers check for somewhere around 3 or 30 million dollars, it was difficult to understand with his accent. He said he was from the US Treasury Department. He also said I had a 2010 Mercedes waiting for me and it was already insured with Global American.

I asked him how I get it and he said he needed my address or he could wire the money to me. I told him no thanks and hung up.

The only time my friend answered was from the phone number 876-454-2568 but they had two other attempts from 876-835-3966 and 876-446-2966 which we also think were from the same scammers.

It it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Government agencies don’t cold call people to tell them they have money. My friend will be reporting this to the FTC for whatever good that will do.
