Robert, from the City of Kingwood called and says. "Sorry to tell you this ma'am but the payment for your business water bill was returned unpaid.  In order that we don't have to come shut the water off within the hour, you need to go to Walmart and buy a Moneygram for $846.42 and call me back with the code number on the bottom of the Moneygram immediately."Oh my..... well Robert, I said, my problem is that I'm here at work and I can't do this immediately. But I'll tell you what I'll do.... since I work for the State of Texas' Attorney General, let me run this by him first. Robert stuttered a bit and then asked why I would need to run this by the AG.  Because he handles all of the scams, I said... and anyway, how do you even sleep at night, Robert?I swear as God is my witness, this is what the scammer said to me.... "You Americans have it so good, not like us people in the third world countries. How do you sleep at night knowing you killed the Indians. I'll bet your house is on an Indian burial ground."  I couldn't talk anymore for laughing so hard. The phone went click shortly after. Obviously there is no City of Kingwood and I don't work for the Attorney General. It was an obvious scam from the start.  If you get this call, please don't fall for it. 4951

@Jpgurl: I always do it... if I don't recognize the number I'll either answer in Swedish or answer with "State of Texas Attorney General's office". Almost invariably, they hang up. Couldn't do that yesterday as I was answering a business phone.

@HotterThanYou: This was yesterday... I imagine they just use the first name of the city the phone number is in. They are brilliant, aren't they?!

Hell, I for one wish we had our own City of Kingwood and didn't have to wait in line for a share of our taxes being collected by the COH to come back for pothole repairs. 4951

Well one more thought... Good thing he was doing his scam from somewhere far away and didn't mention that our AG is under indictment for securities fraud which is a bigger deal than an $800 phone scam. Just saying.... 4951
