Scammers from TN are still at it.

Beware Gents.

Just remember "Send No Money Now" -- Like they used to say on TV, and you'll be OK.

Below is my run in with Mr. Con Artist.

I masked out part of his #.

The caller ID comes back as:

Caller ID WIRELESS CALLER

Provider NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA

It's most likely a 10$ throw away AT&T go phone.

Just out of morbid curiosity, I wonder what the response would have been if I said "Yes" when he asked if it was because I could not afford to send him any money. Anyone else get that question and say Yes?
