Reply To: Scammers
Bill, You are wise not to pursue unverified claims from a total stranger. I looked at your old posts from 2006 and none include any full name or contact info, so I don’t think he got that info from this site. Did you ask him where he got your info?
Scammers have really been hitting us “aged” people lately, the medical alert device scam is on the rise right now, as are various get rich quick and “you won money” schemes that prey on the elderly.
I would run a Google search on his name and phone number. If he has been scamming people it may show. If he works for a company, Google the company for complaints too.
The best phone number search is here: http://800notes.com
Free (to some extent) background check sites include:

Let us know what you learn and if he turns out to be on the up and up.
