My phone rang about 1AM this morning. Phone# was 256-375-5240 claiming to be Talladega County Jail and they had my daughter there holding her because they caught her speeding and also she had several other unpaid traffic fines. Basically they were trying to get me to send them money through Paypal to release her last night as opposed to keeping her until Monday when she could see a judge.
Of course I didn’t believe them cause both my daughters drive like old women and never speed lol. Anyway I asked to speak to her and they pretended to put me on hold while they got her to the phone and i clicked over to the other line and called both my daughters to confirm and woke them up.
Be careful who you talk to and give information to on the phone(especially from unknown numbers). When they ask…”Can you hear me?….never respond with “Yes” because they are recording your answer and will use your voice to scam others.
Sad that the world is this way. They hung up while I was confirming with my daughters that they were ok so I didn’t get to cuss nobody out and I didn’t get back to sleep either. Googled the phone number and it is indeed connected to a scam so watch yourselves people
