Got a call from this number too last week but the one who is using the number is my friend who lives in Canada. He has no phone now so he is using a public phone. I could say this is a genuine call only that there are a lot of irresponsible public phone users who uses the same number to scam or fraud somebody else.

My mother just called me and said that a male called her from this number this morning.  He specifically used the name my son (her grandson) calls her to say "Hi! (name her Grandson calls her), how have you BEEN feeling."  She responded and he told her she didn't sound good.  He stayed on the phone just a minute longer when she told him ?? (name he calls his grandfather) was coming in now.  He hung up.  Funny thing is her grandson lives right there by her and just saw her so he would not have said "been feeling".   (past tense)
WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  PLEASE TELL YOUR ELDERLY PARENTS / GRANDPARENTS  / NEIGHBORS TO CHECK CALLER ID AND DON'T GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION TO ANY ONE.  THESE CROOKS DO THIS FOR WHAT THEY CALL A JOB.  --------- WE MUST PROTECT OUR ELDERLY.

My 76 year old mother got a call today 6/1/2012 from 416-777-7775.  Caller identified himself as her grandson Jason. Said he was in jail and needed $38,000 to get out on a DUI accident charge.  Grandma asked him if his wife was there and he hesitated then said yes but she was not to happy with him right now.  It's very sad to know that there are scam artists out there that prey among the sick and elderly. He hung up when she replied that she did not have that kind of money.

I received a call from this number and couldn't answer. A message was left to call John Lee at 800.604.9001 in regards to my $7000 loan being approved. I knew I hadn't applied for a loan but called anyway. They wanted to give me a loan but I had to pay $335 for insurance.What A scam! The 800 number is somewhere in China! Do not fall for this scam.

I received a phone call from this number stating that he was my son and he was at a wedding reception in Spain and had rear ended someone. He said that he had an attorney with him that got him off of the drinking charges. He said he is being held in a detention center until he gets the money to fix the ladies car. He said he needed about $2500. He said he doesn't sound like himself because of the accident. I asked him which son he was and he said that he is the oldsest. He said he is at 3982 East 21st Ave. in Madrid Spain. He also asked me if I could keep a secret, and not tell anyone about the phone call.

We received a call saying he was our grandson and had been in a car accident with a Spanish diplomat and needed money to post bail. He then gave us to his supposedly attorney. He said the dipomat had filed criminal charges and he would drop them if the money for the car repair was sent, before he had to leave the country and he was leaving today. Our grandson had to have the money in an hour or he would be in jail for Christmas. I had given him my cell phone number and when he called back I got his number and saw he was in Canada and my grandson was in Colorado. When he called back I said I could not get the money that fast and go ahead and put my grandson in jail He hung up immediately.
They are very clever in geting you to give the name of the person they are supposedly are and put the time pressure on to not give you time to check it out

Somebody called my mother and said it was my son and that he had been in a wreck and his nose was broken.  The caller also said he blew one point over the legal limit on breathalyzer.  She was told he needed $3000 immediately.  He said to only contact an attorney named Thomas Goldstein, don't call anybody else.  Another number related to this incident is 514-440-4387.

My mom who is 84 years old got a call today from this number.  He said, "Hi grama, this is your grandson.  I am in jail for drunk driving and need money.  She asked who this was.  He said your grandson, then she stated her grandson's name and he said yes it's me.  She knew her grandson doesn't drink and since it didn't sound like him,  said why don't you call your mom and he said my mom's a B_ _ _ _! and hung up.

She just found out he called her 90 year old sister-in-law fifteen minutes after that.  How horrible is this and that it looks like it has been going on for years.  It should be easy to catch these people who are taking advantage and scaring people.

My grandmother got a call from somebody claiming to be her grandson (my brother). My brother lives in TX, and my grandmother lives in KY. They knew her full name as well as my brother's, and obviously somehow got my grandmother's phone number. They (again, claiming to be my brother) said that he was in jail in Mexico and needed money, and not to tell our father (who my brother lives with).

Thankfully, my grandmother asked a bunch of questions until they hung up.
I think it's crazy that they got this information! I wish we could do something to stop them.

I have always taken my phone off when I go to sleep and this call came in at 9 AM.   First there was silence and then humming! then silence, then more humming....no message.   If I get a call like this during the day, I have a little device which curses, really bad curses and loud!   I will play it for them and see how they like it!

Just received a call from a guy that also answered Hi Grandma (after a brief connection time)  He sounded like someone I know and since I got my first Granddaughter 7 weeks ago I thought he was for real.  I asked how he was and he stated that he wasn't doing very well, that he was in Canada..... I told him he had the wrong Grandma and hung up.  I can't believe this scam has been around as long as it has!

Just got a call from this number. The male voiced responded to my "hello" by simply stating my first name with a question. I said, "yes" and he continued to say, "This is Nick." At first I responded, "oh!", as I know a Nick, but realized it didn't sound like him. Thought it might be a different Nick and asked,  "Nick who?" The male voice then said, " can you hear me?"
"Yes, I can hear you. Nick who? I know more than one Nick and I don't recognize the area code."

"We have a bad connection. Let me try calling you again." He hung up and hasn't called back. Maybe he didn't think I had caller ID.

My grandma just got this call stating my brother was in trouble in Mexico and crashed his car. She said they knew his name, his sons name, and his son's mom's name. She was so frantic about it and thank the good Lord she doesn't own a credit card because she would have helped him right out! Make sure to spread this information to any and every elderly/non elderly person you know. When its about family, and your are older especially, it's easier for them to crack you! A**holes...

I just got a call from this number today!!!!  A young man called, saying that he was my grandson and needs money to pay for a car accident he and 2 friends were in.  He's pretty bruised and sore but okay and he needs $5,000 sent to a Walmart in Canada so that he can pay his share and get his passport back to come home to the U.S.  When asked why he was in Canada, he says that he got a girl pregnant and he's trying to convince her not to have an abortion.  

I was lucky, I remembered to ask him a question that only my grandson would know the answer to and he couldn't give me an answer.  I would suggest that anyone else receiving a call like this would do the same, ask them a question only they would know the answer to, and don't give them too much information, like correct names of relatives or friends.

My mother in law, who is 80+ years old,  received a call from this number as well.  The caller identified himself as her grandson who said he was in trouble.  He also knew her address and told her to keep her doors and windows locked.  She did not recognize the voice and told him she was going to call the authorities.
