My mom just told me she got a phone call saying she won a contest, no... a free vacation,....no a lottery ...she had to come pick up the prize...no we'll send it to you. The person had an accent that she could barely understand so she handed the phone to my sister.

She swore to me that she didn't give them any information.

Some of these Nigerians don't have the patter down.

I told her that if she gets any calls from a bank or the credit card company or whoever to take a phone number and call me or my brother.

As she is prone to do, she wanted to know what the scam could be. Are they trying to get me out of the house? I asked her how that could matter.

I think I'm going to make a card to put next the phone to remind her not to give out any information.

Caller ID. And Anon Call Reject. In addition to the card.
 
Whew Mike I am so glad she called you. The idea for a card next to her phone is excellent. I'd love to slam those SOBs.
 
Those people really are horrible people. They need to die.

Won't work anymore. You want me to have the White House call you?

There are sites you can use that will spoof the caller ID for free. Trust me. The Nigerians know all about them.
