And another scam

Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office would like the citizens of Kootenai County to be aware of the below types of phone scams currently being received in our area.

#1 Victim’s receive a telephone call from a scammer claiming to be their grandson or granddaughter from the phone number (223)-921-3741. They claim that they are being held in court because of their involvement in an auto accident in or near Salt Lake City, UT. The scammer also provides the victim with a phony case number and states their lawyer will be calling you. Victims then receive a second call from a person claiming to be lawyer and using the name “Wayne Spencer” from Legal Aid Salt Lake City, normally using the phone number (920)-659-6219 out of Appleton, WI. The scam attorney next requests you send money for your grandson or granddaughter’s release at 200 E. 3rd Street Salt Lake City Court House. If the scammer is asked why he is calling from Wisconsin, instead of Utah, he states he’s using his private phone. More here.

Question: When did a caller last try to scam you. What was his/her pitch?
