When I think about it now, I think one of the funniest scams was someone overseas who was spoofing the local police department's phone number calling me to tell me I actually owed taxes (even after I had filed my taxes and had paid what I owed), and tried to tell me they'd send police after me if I hung up. :P
A little over a year ago, my oldest daughter (foster, 26 years old) was giving birth to her third. I got a frantic call from my mother. "Brian, is Tyler okay?" Tyler, being my oldest son (19 at the time), is pretty much a homebody when he isn't working. I asked her why. Her response, "I just got a call from Tyler's friend saying that he was just arrested and needed money to be bailed out of jail. If I don't send money right away, Tyler will be kept in jail until his court date which is in one month." I asked my mother where he's locked up at. She responded, "Philadelphia." I said, "Mom, Tyler is at home playing video games. This is another scam. Please call the police department and inform them of the scam."
It happened a few more times.
Then it stopped for good.
Assholes.
