I read today in the Press about the police from Absecon warning people about getting calls that their relatives might be sick, arrested or dead. The scammers tell you to dial a number with the area code of 809,284 or 876 for information. If you do it, you'll get operator who starts a long conversation with you or a recorded message. This will cost you $2,425 a minute and people have been unable to dispute the charges.
A friend of mine told me yesterday about a scam going on in her state. A small, elderly lady in a mall parking lot asks people to help her by her car. When a good person goes to help, a man jumps out and robs them. The citizens are being told not to help anyone, try to memorize the plate number of the vehicle of anyone who asks for help and report it to the store immediately or call 911.

The only scams that Mullicans have to be wary of are when Chasey and Forman open their mouths.
Area code 876 is Jamaica,284 is the British Virgin Islands and 809 is the code of other Caribbean islands. $2,425 a minute!
I guess even the scammers are being hit by inflation.
I probably would have fallen for helping the elderly lady. I'm just a sucker when it comes to old women.
I actually voted for Forman and Chasey the first time they ran.
Well, you live and learn.
I'm sorry (about your voting for Forman and Chasey)
