Received 44 calls, since the caller ID revealed:Florida SNAP Fraud. I have asked them DO NOT CALL. But they called anyway. Some guy with a heavy Asian or Indian accent said "Hi, this is the Florida State, Department of Children, SNAP, Fraud Team Investigation. My name is Waylon H. We have found you had committed willful fraud on your EBT Snap Card. You withdrew too much money. We will need to have you to process a pay-back of $357.00 through PayPal or Google Play Store Card. Do you have a Target, WalMart, or a Drug Store Near you?" (I decided to play along to try to get more information) Macrabe Drug Store. WAYLON H: Good, I will need you to go to there and acquire three $100 Play Store Cards and 1 $50.00 and I will waive the $7.00 you owe and mark it paid in full." ME: Sure, can you wait five minutes? WAYLON: Absolutely, take your time. (Pauses to hang laundry, wash dishes - checking occasionally to see if he's still on the phone and he is. 11 Minutes later I return.) HI, I am back. Sorry, too many people in the Macrabe Thrit Store. WAYLON: THRIFT STORE? I SAID DRUG STORE! ME: Same thing, I got 3 google play store cards and a 40 one as they don't have any 50 ones. WAYLON: I need you to scratch the back of the cards please to verify if indeed they are google play store cards. ME: scratching an old child's chalkboard with an edge of a file (intentionally making the noises). WAYLON: Are you done yet? ME: Be patient! Okay All done. WAYLON (sounding very excited) "Okay read me the set of codes four by four please." (made up) "X01Z-BB03N-003T-04G5-NN021" (Typing in background) WAYLON: Please repeat the alpha numeric numbers again? (Repeats) WAYLON: I am sorry, it came up as invalid, let's try another card. ME REPEATING NUMBERS (yelling). (typing again in background) WAYLON: I am sorry it is not valid! Please give me a valid number on the back of the card!
