773-657-0503

Mexican sounding caller said family member had been in car accident.  Gave number and name of Seargent Miller to call.  Then called back and said to call *572 773-657-0503.    I called this number with and without the *572.   The number just hangs up.  This is a United States Cellular Corp. number.  I called their customer service dept but it was closed at the time.   I will call them again tomorrow to find out if this is an active cell number.   I will pursue this because my whole family was riled up about this.

We received a call from this number advising us that we had been given as the emergency contact for a party that had been involved in an accident. The caller identified himself as being with the State Highway Patrol. We were instructed to call a satellite phone number *72-1773 6570503 and talk to the Sgt. at the scene for the details. I called several times receiving a ring and no answer then a busy signal on subsequent attempts. Concerned that we had written the number down incorrectly I called the MO State Highway Patrol. Before I could even finish explaining what had happen the dispatcher advised me that this was a scam. She said I needed to call my local telephone company and advise them that calls to this *72 number were fraudulent and that I needed to call the Cook County Jail and advise them that I had received this call. This scam is evidently being run by prisoners there. the *72 forwards your phone line to 1-773-657-0503.
