On 10/16/17 I received three missed calls from a local number (916-384-1807). The caller left no voicemail so I figured it was a scam. The day after, I received a missed call from 916-384-9773. When the number called a second time, I picked up since I was expecting a call the day before. When i picked up the phone, the "person" introduced himself as Brian form a cruise line company. Then the phone cut out and then he says "can you hear me?" After a 15 second pause, it reluctantly said "yes" then the call ended. It was at the same moment I realized it was a scam and reported it to the FTC and now BBB. I am currently monitoring my assets to see if any unauthorized translations occurs.

You get a call from a local area code, a lady who is actually a recording asks "can you hear me?" If you answer yes they use that recording of your voice to authorize payments and bill you. The recording asked a few yes or no questions which were all yes answers (questions like are you over 18, does your household have an annual income over 40k, do you use a major credit card or debit card?) to get a few different versions of your yes answer. My recording was someone who said she worked for a cruise line, then they say they will transfer you over to someone from sales.

I believe my mother has been a victim of scam. She is elderly and asked me for help. She told me that the following phone number:913-416-5237, had been calling her over and over. When she finally answered, she was not sure what is was about because she is not fluent in English, but she was asked for some information. She obviously called me and said to call that number for her and ask what it was about. I called and they said they were a cruise line and that we were entitled to a cruise. Right away I knew it was a scam because I worked for Moneygram International and I learned all about fraud and scams and even prevented a few. Therefore I hung up the call, called my mother and told her about it and I also told her not to answer those calls because they are either fraud or scams.
