Fizzzzle Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Anyone know why this might be a thing? He told me this morning to expect a call and was like "I'll tell you about it later." "US Courts" was the actual caller ID. They just asked me a bunch of questions about his background. When/where was he born, has he ever been married, what states has he lived in, does he work, etc. What could that possibly be about? I've never heard of anything like that from the courts beyond things like jury selection, but I've served on like 5 juries and they never called my relatives.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 This is a scam and your dad appears to have fallen for it. That "US Courts" caller ID was spoofed. Representatives of the US court system will NEVER use a phone call to contact someone. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just played dumb or made up shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Me thinks I'm going to have to talk to him about verification of who he gives his personal information to, including my phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's definitely a conversation you should be having with him sooner rather than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Or perhaps at the age of 72 my dad finally got accepted to the CIA. I know they're looking for semi-retired auto parts delivery men with no reasonable connections to blend in with normal Americans 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered you were the first person I asked about that security breach of the military/govt employees that happened some years back because everything about it screamed "don't give any personal information" to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you fed them bullshit and didn't fall for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'm actually a representative of the US courts and if you could PM me some information. What was your high school mascot? What was the name of your first pet? What was your grandma's maiden name? Now PM me the answers with the last 4 digits of your social security number and your cooperation will have been very helpful to our investigation. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
