I received a message on from an individual claiming to be an Officer Steve Martin with the United Nations Legal Department. He said it was concerning a family member (whom I shall remain namelss) who was in "huge trouble, " and I needed to contact him as soon as possible at 605-595-1838, and he would share information about the case with me (which by the way is an unlisted number).
He had a very strong Middle Eastern accent; I had to listen to the message several times to make out what he was saying and there are still a few words I cannot understand. I could hear a lot of chatter in the background. He had a very rude and sarcastic tone, especially when he said "Bye, " like he was really getting one over on someone.
I have not called the number back yet, and do not plan to, as I am absolutely sure it is a scam. He/They will probably demand my social security number or bank acount numbers, which I will never provide; I am not stupid. However, if I continue to get these harrassing calls I will pursue further legal action. I just wanted to warn people of this malicious intent and put these people/this number out of business!
