Scammer bilked Madison County, MS out of $2.7 million. Scammer claiming to be Jay Hemphill emailed about paying invoices, and had the matching invoices, but needed to change the bank account routing numbers. The invoices had already been approved by the Board of Supervisors, so it was paid in 3 transactions. One transaction was returned. The clerk contacted "Mr. Hemphill" (who had a thick middle eastern accent) about the return and the transaction was sent to another bank successfully. Someone from Hemphill Construction called asking about why the payment was late and that's when it was discovered. So far, they've gotten $2.2 million back. The clerk happens to be the girlfriend of a Supervisor and wasn't/isn't qualified for the position...that she still holds. ****Jay Hemphill was the CEO of Hemphill Construction and has been deceased for over 30 years and no Hemphill has been at the company in over 40 years***

Just got off the phone with one. He wanted 18 Goodyear tires right away. He would pay all extra fees for expedited service if I would take a credit card over the phone and he would send someone to pick them up. I told him that was great but the tires were at my other warehouse and to have his guy meet me there. I gave him the address to the police dept. He hung up after he looked up the address. Take the card and when the hot shot truck shows up to get them, load up 18 scrap tires. It's a great way to get them hauled off and burn the scammer.

My phone blocks most. When one gets through, I ask them if they need an inspection and spend a great deal of effort trying to sell them one. They usually hang up. Then I block them. I bet I have a thousand blocked numbers and 10k blocked emails.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
