Skip to comments.Major Phone Scam
Posted on 05/23/2014 4:27:59 PM PDT by Allen In Texas Hill Country
We stopped answering unknown phone calls a long long time ago. But I was outside and the wife, expecting a call, did answer the call. Trying to make a long story short.....
It was from a family member whom we care enough about that we would do almost anything for. The wife was convinced it was from this family member and when she told me she convinced me too. A few phone calls later involving public attorneys and lawyers we were told to send a very large sum of CASH using UPS.
And then,,,, FINALLY,,, I realized this was a scam. But the knowledge about the details of our particular family structure (a bit different) scares the hell out of us. We called the sheriffs office and gave them the details of the phone numbers used in the scam. The main one of which came from Montreal, Quebec. I did the reverse search after realizing.
Just posting to help others.
My family members don't like being laughed at so they would never call me asking for money.
Thank you.
My wife's aunt lost several hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Jamaican Lottery Scam. She died penniless.
The local Panama City, FL TV station mentioned a scam which is going around this area.
A supposed deputy calls and says you have been fined for not showing up for jury duty. He then tells you to put the amount on a Wal-Mart card and mail it to some address.
I can't see anyone falling for that one but some must.
This happened to my elderly mother. They claimed my nephew (13 at the time) was in a Spanish prison. My poor mother was really distraught. She gave them my brother's phone number. They actually called my brother. Same scenario as you experienced...call from Montreal etc. We were also quite shocked by the level of information they had.
Bear in mind with Ancestry.com and other tools a stranger can figure out your family tree.
Got a desperate email from my Dr who was supposedly in Spain & his wallet & ID had been stolen. Very real looking and written in a way it sounded like him. Called the office as a precautionary move & found his email accct had been hacked.
Does your family member have a facebook page? I can see them getting information from that.
There is a similar e-mail scam in which someone hijacks someone's e-mail list, then sends a plea for money to everyone on the list by claiming they are in a foreign country in which all their credit cards have been stolen and they have no way to get home unless you send cash now!
My calls are White listed.
I dunno you, I don't answer.
Thanks for posting this. Our phone has been ringing off the hook lately from political calls ... mostly from 202 area code (DC). Lately a lot of 'other' type calls are coming thru as well. We were on the do-not-call list but the wheels seem to have come off that operation. We just don't answer the phone anymore unless the number or name of someone we know pops up on the phone screen. If it's important they can leave a message. It is irritating.
Some people are naive and unsuspecting and can fall prey to this kind of crime. Thanks for posting.
Similar thing happened to my mother. The weird thing is, her grandson (my nephew) was actually living in Spain at the time, so she got completely freaked out. Fortunately she kept her wits about her and realized it was a scam, but it shook her up badly.
I could happily shoot people who run these kinds of things.
I think the scam was that a family member or doctor had their e mail hacked and the info was used to ask for money, as if it was them away from home and had wallet, money, ID stolen.
I had that happen to me twice...."an emergency request of someone I knew who was stranded, and all their wallets, money, and ID stolen and they needed to come home." That is the scam. Neither had contacted me, but their emails were hacked and used to send to all in their contact list requesting help....some no doubt sent money they will never see again...to the hacker.
Yes, the wife does and we quickly realized Facebook is/was a real possibility. Initially she said that was it, no more Facebook. I said no, post on Facebook what just happened to let others know.
I understand and can help.
Please send me your account number and pin. Also today only, carbon credits, 1/2 price. No checks. Cash only.
Used to be that being on a 'no call list' protected you. Now it secures the solicitors have a number to call for donations, requests, sales pitches etc.
Aside from Free Republic, because all Freepers are trustworthy, I try not to have any online presence that might let people know I am actually Barry Sotero and am actually not an American.
I remember a phone call I got from "Mr. Brown" back when my daughter was 16 or 17. "Mr. Brown" was calling to tell me my daughter was staying overnight with "Suzie" and they (he and Mrs. Brown) would be home all night.
It was a kid, one of her male friends and the whole bunch of them were concocting a fictitious sleep over. I laughed my butt off right back at him and just sat there and waited for the whole thing to break down. I ended the call telling "Mr. Brown" to make sure he tells Jennifer to get her ass back home by curfew or there would be hell to pay.
I'm waiting for one of these calls about one of my "relatives"....just waiting patiently
Thanks for the info. Just one other bit of advice, a year ago, I got an odd call from a number i did not recognize. I used a search engine to look it up. One of the top items listed included a headline detailing something about a scam. I clicked on the link and got hit by a virus. Apparently, this is one way to draw people to sites, and infect their computers.
just make sure you waste as much of their time as possible
I love to make these guys riled up until they start cursing me (real curses! not just swear words) I even started mumbling some curses of my own to one guy and he screamed and hung up
Can we get the Democrat voter rolls and start marketing scams to them??
I always tell people I have no friends because friends are people who:
1. Call at three in the morning to borrow money
2. Call at three in the morning to ask you to get them out of jail
3. Tell you sad stories about their daughter getting pregnant.
Well the first two require money which I don't have and what I am supposed to say about the third-"It wasn't me".
That's a good idea. My son and I have Facebook pages. It's how we keep up with each other now that he is in the Marines.
This is an old ruse. The calls from Canada are typical. The ones that tried it on me claimed to be in Vancouver, so they do get around. Cops knew about it. Cuidado'
True story.
Once I got a scam call. They left me a voice mail. I waited until they called again and I recognized the number.
I answered the phone in a loud authoritative voice:
"Blair County Sheriffs office, Fraud Division, who is this?! This number has been linked to illegal telecommunication activity. Do not hang up or you will be impeding a law enforcement investigation and committing the crime of Obstruction of Justice! Who and where are you?!"
I kept them on the line for a good thirty seconds while they stammered and mumbled. Then they hung up. Never heard from them again. It was fun.
Same thing happened to my elderly mom. She's still very sharp. What tipped her off is they'grandchild' didn't call her by her nickname. She led the caller on. Then reported it to the BBB and the FBI.
glad you caught on before they really harmed you.
Had lunch with one of our JP's in Brazoria County, Texas. When I got home noticed I had an email from him saying he was in Italy, had wallet stolen, etc. Gave him a hard time about it because he had no money and I loaned him money for lunch today. Told him I'd already contributed so no more money for them. Until I called his office they were not even aware that their email had been hacked. Addresses of lots of important folks in that email list!
Have also noticed a huge uptick in robo calls both to the office and cell phone from the same calling number. Interesting because office number is 281 and cell is 713. Not sure what the AG in Texas can do about it but would like to think that there is something we can do on a state level about the bogus DNC list.
You're a fraud, obviously, because his name given at birth in Canada was Steven Barnard Dunham.
Or it may have been spelled Steven Bernard Dunham ...
No, you would get rich so quickly that you would stop posting at FreeRepublic, and we can't have that now!
I've got some real simple rules.
I never ever buy, borrow, lend, or sell to family, friends or neighbors.
I got e mail (allegedly) from a friend, saying virtually word for word what you just said. I called his home phone. He was in Texas, and said his e mail had been hacked. He changed his password immediately.
I will never stop posting, I want to find a way to keep posting even after I am dead. lol
I have not received these but everyone in my email account got an email saying I was robbed and was stranded in Lomdon. This was 4 or 5 years ago. A cousin's wife got one and knew it was fake due to some wording in it. Some people need to get a real life.
Enjoy your peaceful and stress-free life.
Priceless! That's where I got my idea!
One unofficial event that Tom Mabe is best known for took place when telemarketers gathered in Washington D.C. with the hopes of discouraging any laws that would prevent telemarketing. Mabe found out exactly where the telemarketers were staying, and he checked into the same hotel. He even found out what rooms they were staying in. Mabe then took the initiative to call the telemarketers at 3 a.m. to pretend and sell them sleeping pills. This occurrence allowed his audience from Paul Harvey to The New York Times to announce that Tom Mabe was their new hero.[6]
Since you say that you recognized the family member, I'm taking that to mean that your family member was "in on the scam".
This kind of thing is usually directed at elderly people with the caller saying they are a grandson or nephew, etc. and are in jail, they're scared, and need money right away, please help me grandma. Someone tried this on my mom and was very convincing, but as soon as she told them " now you know I can't spend that kind of money without talking it over with your grandpa" they hung up.
.. and I'd happily give 'em the second tap just to be sure.
This one has actually been around for a while. These scammers are vultures.
All they have to do is keep changing their phone number, rent a place cheap, collect checks from vulnerable people, usually older.
My sister-in-law's Mom got taken for $1800 on this one.

GREENTOWN, Ind. — It's referred to as a "healing field," and those who travel to visit share a sacred bond.
"I think this is an area where veterans feel safe," said Larry Melton, co-founder of the Howard County Vietnam Veterans Organization, established in 1981.
They come out here and they rub elbows . with fellow veterans. They're talking to people that know what they're talking about."
The annual Vietnam Veterans Reunion, the oldest such reunion in the country, started just as a plan to create a memorial for Howard County Vietnam veterans who did not return home.
Over the years, it has expanded to a weeklong appreciation for veterans across the country, allowing them to commune together in a safe space with other veterans and supporters.
"This is a healing field," Melton said. "It's a place to come, be calm and talk to your peers about what you went through, and they'll tell you what they went through."
Ceremonies were held at the Howard County Vietnam Veterans Organization Reunion Grounds on Saturday. Several were honored for their service, including Sammy L. Davis, the only surviving Indiana Medal of Honor recipient who served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.
And in the crowd were dozens of veterans who came together for a day just to listen and tell stories of both hurt and triumph in one of America's most controversial wars.
"I lost a lot of my good friends in Vietnam and lost a lot of them afterward with Agent Orange," said Dennis Simpson, 70.
Between 1966 and 1967, Simpson fought in three major combat operations in Vietnam, one being one of the deadliest at the Battle of Suoi Tre where there was over 600 casualties.
Simpson remembers being a young man in the war, even spending his 21st birthday in a tree in the Mekong Delta.
"I looked up to God and said, 'Of all places to turn 21,'" he said, jokingly.
On that night, the water was 12-feet deep, and to Simpson it was just another day closer to getting home, he said.
Even 50 years after the end of the Vietnam War, Simpson still struggles with the effects of the war. He abused alcohol for period of time following the war, but has since recovered with help from the veterans' center in his home state of Ohio.
Although, he still battles with Posttraumatic stress disorder at times, Simpson is constantly improving with help from his loved ones.
Other health side effects are daily reminders of Simpson's time in Vietnam, which is why for the last 15 years he's made an effort to attend the reunion in Howard County.
The reunion has become his safe space.
It's a place were he can talk about his past without feeling judged. It's also where Simpson and hundreds of other veterans come to heal and support one another.
"I recommend for anyone who hasn't been here to come here," Simpson said.
"You don't have to be a combat vet to come here. You still have a story. And coming here is like a big base camp. Once you walk through the gate . it's secure and you're among friends and everybody's got a story."
But once you've left the campgrounds, it isn't easy for most vets to discuss with just anyone what they've been through, Simpson said.
"I felt like, for years (it was) a war we should not have been in," said Morris Crawford. He served as a U.S. Navy Seal for six years.
"And the experiences that a lot of us went through, they really shouldn't have happened. But we were in it and we were set up to try to win and I don't think we ever won."
And as Vietnam veterans are still struggling to win even at home in the U.S., with housing and healthcare, Crawford and his friend Robert Alexander, who served in the Army during Vietnam from 1967 to 1968, see the reunion as an essential part of appreciating Vietnam veterans, thanking them for what they have done for this country, and welcoming them home even 50 years later.
"We honor each other," Alexander said. "The only support that we have is the vet centers and from individual vets. I've never seen a Vietnam vet that didn't come up to me, or me go up to him and say, 'Welcome home, brother.'"

Relational Processes and DSM-V: Neuroscience, Assessment, Prevention, and Treatment / Edition 1by Steven R. Beach, Marianne Z. Wamboldt, Nadine J. Kaslow, Richard E. Heyman, Michael B. First
Pub. Date: 06/28/2006
Publisher: American Psychiatric Publishing, Incorporated

Seeking to integrate the large volume of clinical research on relational processes and mental health disorders with other scientific advances in psychiatry, Relational Processes and DSM-V builds on exciting advances in clinical research on troubled relationships. These advances included marked improvements in the assessment and epidemiology of troubled relationships as well the use of genetics, neuroscience, and immunology to explore the importance of close relationships in clinical practice. Advances in family-based intervention, and prevention are also highlighted to help practitioners and researchers find common ground and begin an empirically based discussion about the best way to revise the DSM. Given the overwhelming research showing that relationships play a role in regulating neurobiology and genetic expression and are critical for understanding schizophrenia, conduct disorder, and depression among other disorders, relational processes must be a part of any empirically based plan for revising psychiatric nosology in DSM-V.
The chapters in this book counter the perspective that we can safely discard the biopsychosocial model that has guided psychiatry in the past. The contributors examine the relevance of close relationships in such issues as the basic psychopathology of mental disorders, factors influencing maintenance and relapse, sources of burden for family members, and guiding family-based interventions. By tying relational processes to basic research on psychopathology, they demonstrate the value of integrating basic behavioral and brain research with a sophisticated understanding of the self-organizing and self-sustaining characteristics of relationships. Coverage includes: • research linking relational processes to neuroscience, neurobiology, health outcomes, intervention research, prevention research, and genetics• consideration of specific circumstances, such as promoting healthy parenting following divorce and relational processes in depressed Latino adolescents• optimal approaches to the assessment of relational processes with clinical significance, such as child abuse, partner abuse, and expressed emotion.• a simple introduction to the methodology of taxometrics, offering insight into whether key relational processes are distinct categories or continuously distributed variables• an overview of the links between relational processes and psychiatric outcomes, providing a theoretical foundation for the discussion of links to psychopathology
Together, these contributions seek to develop a shared commitment among clinicians, researchers, and psychopathologists to take seriously the issue of relational processes as they relate to diagnoses within DSM-and to encourage mental health care workers at all levels to harness the generative and healing properties of intimate relationships and make them a focus of clinical practice. It is a book that will prove useful to all who are interested in integrating greater sensitivity to relational processes in their work.

Thank you for writing this book !! We need more like it. The DSM is oriented towards pathology, disease, and disorder and is not oriented towards wellness, recovery and healing. Our labeling system does more damage than good sometimes. I agree that the relationship is KEY. I am a counselor (10+ years) and also a Manic Psychosis survivor (BP I Dx) . It is downright refreshing to see a book like this on the market. I only wish we could get it into more academic classrooms!! Thanks again.

When I first started looking at how to configure Cowboy to provide the optimum HPC resource for our campus, the engineers at Advanced Clustering took the time to go through the various processor and storage technologies to see which ones offered us the best price/performance. We have been thoroughly pleased with ACT's products and service.
I've recommended ACT systems and tech support to a number of colleagues and have received nothing but thank-you's after purchase.
ACT is essentially unique in that they are very knowledgeable and "hands-on" with respect to their products and service...they truly enjoy rolling up their sleeves and solving technical problems!
By the way, I probably have said this before, but Billy is awesome. RMA's can be such a pain with some companies, but he makes it painless.
The short story is that I love the ACT cluster. On every major account including quality, price, management and fun, our cluster scores very high. We have a low number of users and they are all very smart. That makes clustering much more easy and fun.

Efsinvestment.com website offers simple do-it-yourself type of investment ideas. You can download excel files that can easily calculate the Fair Value of a stock, along with O-Metrix score and Margin of Safety.
Investment philosophy is to first determine the maximum loss, and invest accordingly. Like many value investors, we prefer to invest in stocks with the highest dividend yields, and highest EPS growth potentials. Telecommunication and energy stocks in emerging markets are among the favorites.
Seeking Alpha offers a great opportunity to become a part of a strong finance network. Based on extensive quantitative analysis, in any market, going short is risky. Statistical analysis shows that technical indicators work only if they are strong enough to convince the majority of the investors. Do not buy a stock at the top, do not sell a stock at the dip.
At Valuentum, we think the best opportunities arise from a complete understanding of all investing disciplines in order to identify the most attractive stocks at any given time. Valuentum therefore analyzes each stock across a wide spectrum of philosophies, from deep value through momentum investing. We think companies that are attractive from a number of investment perspectives--whether it be growth, value, momentum, etc.--have the greatest probability of capital appreciation and relative outperformance. The more investors that are interested in the stock for reasons based on their respective investment mandates, the more likely it will move higher.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in finance and a minor in mathematics, magna cum laude, from Benedictine University.

A new age platform for the latest in finance and everything else.
Through Bidness Etc, we're bringing the 99% back in the loop by presenting the best financial research in the simplest and most creative ways possible.
We have distilled a decade and billions of dollars' worth of trading experience into developing the idea behind Bidness Etc, and we feel we can do a better job of analyzing and reporting financial matters than anyone else.
We are a team of more than 60 financial wizards, musicians, rock stars, artists, singers, aspiring philosophers and tech geeks working hard to change the way human beings think and interact with finance.
We know that quality financial analysis requires a higher level of intelligence, and that what is reported by financial media is too far behind the curve to be of any relevance to the savvy reader. Here's our solution to that problem: a platform that gives away the best information and analysis out there for free, thereby democratizing individuals' access to finance. We're also pushing the envelope by delivering it visually.
We feel that by doing so, Bidness Etc. will become humanity's first step into a new age for financial media, and that we'll set the standards for tomorrow with our revolutionary new product.
And that's not all.
We know that figures, facts, numbers and stats can get quite mind-numbing after a while. Therein lies the kicker: we're presenting our data in the most visually appealing ways possible. By doing so, we are quite literally transforming financial reporting into a new form of art. We have also incorporated an entertainment section in our website, which tracks the global zeitgeist and provides our take on the hottest topics trending on the web. We feel that this will help us take finance to the mainstream, and complete what the Bidness Etc. experience is all about.
This is a beta version of our web portal. We hope it will keep you coming back for more, because we have a major surprise in store for readers for the month of November. Here's a spoiler, though: finance will never have looked better once we go all out! And you'll know we've meant Bidness all along when we claim to become the best place on the web.
