Description

Scammer calls my 101 year old great grandmother impersonating 'The Baton Rouge District Attorneys Office", saying my cousin Delaney Catron was in jail for a bad car wreck, and that she hit a pregnant woman, and broke the woman's back, and she was going to have to sit in jail for an extended period of time if my Grandma could not help, saying that Delaney, my cousin asked that she not tell anyone. My great grandma responds that her granddaughter manages her money, and I walk and say "Grandma who are you talking to?! Because I hear her giving information to what sounds like a stranger/scammer. Unfortunately she gets many scam calls. The people hang up quickly saying "Okay, I'll tell her." I immediately look up the phone number suspicious of an 877 Area code. Online It reads this belongs to Mount View Logistics, out of Greeley CO I call the number back, and the person who answers says they are from 'The Baton Rouge public Defenders Office'. I ask them why the number says Mountain View Logistics, out of Greeley CO and they hang up on me. I proceed to call my cousin Delaney and confirm my suspicions. The main problem is this kind of stress with such a traumatic event being described could harm my grandmas health, shorten her life, or even kill her. This is attempted murder basically in my opinion as well as attempted robbery, and scamming, and Elderly abuse.
