"a woman from the gallery called today" - "she said they have your check", you tell me as I am driving to your place.
As soon as I arrive, I look at the phone number and message you wrote down. It doesn't make sense. I look at the phone log. There is a different, but related phone# on the log . I look the numbers up on the internet. Who called? Is this another scam? is it a local phone # or is it actually from India? (both having 952 exchange)
I go to Century Link's site - I re-learn how to block calls. I print the instructions for myself. I go back to your place. Armed with my "tools" I again start the process. Who called? I follow the CenturyLink instructions. Whoever called won't be able to call again, because I have blocked them.
An hour later, I am back home, and I realize there is an email and a text, from your new personal care attendant / nurses aide, who has been coming in for a few hours in the morning. She lost the paycheck I had left, while out shopping.
It suddenly makes sense. Luckily, I still have the numbers I had jotted on spare pieces of paper. I dial the number. It is a lady at the "Galleria". Yes, she found the check that was lost. A True good Samaritan, she tracked us down to report she had the lost item, safe and sound.
It was all true. The story you told me was true. And I :
a) didn't believe you.
b) went to great lengths to protect you (needlessly)
