My mother fell for the "Car and cash prize winner" bit hook line and sinker.
She had enough sense to tell me, but only after seven wire transfers totaling over 6000US dollars.
They called often enough so that I could record several conversations
between my mother and the scammers. I found it shocking that despite
it sounding obviously manufactured and artificial, my mother bought into their story so completely.
Astonishing that the US DOJ has not put a stop to this. I doubt the Jamaican gov't has the capacity or will to deal with this.
I created a report and forwarded the audio to our local FBI office.
As with all the other posts, NEVER call any 876-xxx-xxxx phone numbers.
