Telephone scammers are the worst and will go to extraordinary lengths to rip people off!!! 3 times now I've been called on the taxi dispatch line by someone with a strong African accent and a USA phone number to arrange pick up of their "Grandmother" or "Grandfather" out on a farm in the Melville area. They want me to bring them into town so they can buy visa gift cards at the bank. In other words, these scammers find some vulnerable senior citizen and convince them they owe money and have to pay it with a gift card. When the senior tells the scammer they don't drive a car, the scammers try to arrange a taxi to pick them up...unbelievable!! I actually talked to one of the "attempted victims" and they wanted her to buy a $1000 gift card! Please talk to your elderly parents/grandparents about these scams.
