scary stuff

Just a minute ago I received a phone call. The caller had an obviously adult male voice. He claimed to be my ten year old grandson calling from a pay phone. He said he was in trouble and needed money. To verify if it was my grandson (I was sure it wasn't) I asked him how old he was. The phone clicked off immediately.
Of course I instantly notified my son and DIL, my wife and daughter.
Scary part is someone would have and use the name of my ten year old grandson for a scam like that.

BTW, do pay phones still exist?

Yep, lots of scammers out there these days and they have no shame at all.

Yep there are pay phones still out there. Got to look for them though. That is why I never put our names on the doors of our pickup and why our mailbox only is J&L Shively. Giving to much info even in our local areas provides fodder for the scum of the earth to try to use to their advantage.

Yes there are pay phone but what ever you do dont take a collect call from one of those. My step daughter called form one and didnt have 50 cents so called collect that 1 min local call cost me $17.67 but they would adjust it by 30% nice folks HUH.
