TELEPHONE SCAM/FRAUD ALERT: Yesterday I got a call from a number I didn't

recognize with an area code of 213. I let it go to message and got a long message
from some guy who said he was selling some kind of tax protection who asked me to
call him back at his "personal desk" at a number with an 883 area code. So I did a reverse
phone lookup on each number then I blocked both numbers.

I went to my local police department website to see about reporting this. I could've done it
but they've made the reporting process very complicated so I skipped that and was happy
that I have enough good sense to do what I did.

Here's a link for a very useful and free reverse-phone look-up site:
