Warning about illegal scam
« on: October 10, 2011, 10:40:46 PM »
We were contacted by someone who wanted us to pay "them" 20K up fornt to "search for a liver donor match, 120K for the organ and another 20K for a back-up liver donor.  How low can you get?  This person also admitted their plan is illegal but they have a way around legalities.

I recommend you share the details with your District Attorney's consumer fraud division as well as the local FBI office.  Interesting that this criminal used the phone, as that brings them into the clear criminal arena, as opposed to the still murky internet.
