Amusing reading, Sandra.

A few days ago, I received a 'phone call from a man who said he knew me, and once worked in the same complex as me. He knew a number of things about me and my work, and I listened to him, talking of the "old days at work," searching my memory for some trace of him.
he finally started to get into his troubles, financial and marital, and I expressed sympathy, but I was beginning to suspect that I never had met him or worked in the same complex. So I started to describe my problems, saying my retirement package was small and that a pro bono lawyer was trying to help me fight an eviction notice for non-payment of house taxes,,,etc.,-
and he hung up.
This was a scam type I hadn't met before. I didn't find out how he would have planted the hook or where he obtained stories about some of the events of my working days.
