These people were VERY, VERY GOOD. Do not get sucked in. It took me over 10 minutes to ferret them out, and I'm pretty savvy. I called the federal courthouse in Ocala and they are aware of this scam. I tried reporting it to Sumter co. Sheriff's office, who gave me to seniors vs. crime---they have received 8 or 9 calls about this scam in the last hour, but unfortunately can't really do anything. So be careful.
What's in it for them? Are they trying to sell anything? Or just being ugly?
