FRAUD ALERT:

This is not a fake.  This happened to my mother just an hour ago.  I?m alerting you all because they are targeting low income and elderly people.

My mother just got a call from 706-805-1198.  She was told that she was getting a new medical card issued to her and they needed to verify that she was her.  (Great English, but apparently these people didn?t speak it too well either).

My mother said ?Okay, why am I getting a new medical card issued??

They responded, ?They are reissuing cards to everyone in her state.?  My mother replied, ?Okay.?

The woman said, ? We need to know which bank you use?.  My mother responds ?Why do you need to know which bank I use??  The woman answers back, ?It?s just for verification.?

My mother replies, ?Okay, it?s Bank of America?.

The woman says, ?Thank you.  Now I just need the numbers on the bottom of the check.?  My mother says ?why??  The woman responds ?to verify that it?s your bank.

So my mother reads her the routing numbers and stops.  The woman says, ?I need the rest of the numbers?.  My mother responds, ?Well you?re not getting the rest of the numbers.  That is my account number and I don?t give that out to anybody.?

The woman tells her, ?Okay, hold on.  Let me get the supervisor on the phone.?

My mother tells me this guy who sounds like he has a Middle Eastern accent gets on the phone and tries to reassure her that they are only using the bank numbers to verify that she is who she is.  My mother responds to him, ?I?m not giving out my account numbers for the bank.  Nobody asks for bank account numbers for verification of identity unless they are fraudulent!?  Then she hangs up the phone.  

She called the sheriff?s office and she called me and told me what happened.  I asked her for the phone number and did a reverse phone lookup.

The phone number is 706-805-1198.  The search results pulled up ?Reignmaker Telecom, Inc.? and ?Reignmaker Telecom, LLC?.

This is a company that provides VOICE OVER INTERNET services for individuals and companies.  This means that anybody wanting to set up a fraud-based service can use a front service like this to do their dirty work and cover their tracks.

This is the information on it?s services - http://www.aboutus.org/ReignMaker.net

There is bad press on Reignmaker Telecom at this link, http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/2009/03/16/story8.html?page=all

And this link describes that back in August of 2009, Cypress Communications acquired ?Reignmaker Telecom?.  http://callcenterinfo.tmcnet.com/news/2009/04/23/4148833.htm

Reignmaker was dissolved on the 30th of May, 2010 according to this filing - http://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ga/3955   So why is  there a service still operating under this name?

These are some other scams they have run through slightly different phone numbers (you can get any VOIP number and be up and running in minutes).

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-706-805-1082  The complaints are similar with the same accented woman (Indian or Middle Eastern Accent).

This NEW SCAM is targeting elderly and low income people!  Warn your relatives!

This # (706-805-1082 & 706-805-1151) called me, with the name of the owner of the property, informing me that my PC was infected and then begin to direct me to a website to install 'their fix' for the problem.

Callers sounded as though they had an accent synonamous with India or a country in that region of the world.  Call was highly suspicious.  Spoke to 3 different people all with similar accents.  They called me back from the second # listed, to attempt to get a clearer call through to me.

Tracked the numbers to a series of #'s owned by, or previously registered to, REIGNMAKER TELECOM INC. which appears to be a multi-lined call through center of some sort for international callers to make VOIP calls through to #'s in the US region at VOIP costs (near $0).

**This represents a new low, if International Scammers are calling and asking users to self infect there own machines.

I informed the owner of the property, to inform the caller that they do not own a PC if they receive a similar call in the future.

I just received a phone call from the "United States Government Grant Department" stating that I was the receipient of a $7,000.00 grant because I had no criminal record, pay my taxes on time, and was not in bankruptcy.  The woman who had an India accent told me I had to give them my debit card or my bank account number. I told her I would wait for a check. She then told me they could not send a check. When I asked her why, she became defensive told me "okay since you're not interested" and hung up on me.
