@Lizvac: Â What happens if you DO answer the phone? Â More details please.
@Retired_Engineer:
They tell you that they have a loved one and extort money from you.
@Nurse3: Ah, that old scam. Â They can't do anything if you keep a cool head and ask them some verification questions. Â It shouldn't take much to determine it's a scam. Â This scam only works on those that are very excitable and let emotions over-ride common sense.Not answering the phone from that area code is not the proper reaction. Â Answer the phone, and if it is the scammers, they can't force you to do anything. Â But I do agree with reporting it to the police.
