TOO WEIRD

Phone Rings i answer , Feller says his name is Ander From Sweden, asks if this is Richard son of Rolph who's father and three brothers came to USA. Now understand this feller is hard to understand cause of the heavy accent. So I listen carefully as this interest's me very much. He tells me that when Gran dad's Father went back to Sweden he remarries and has four more sons, and that Grandad had a fourth brother that was killed in a plane crash in England in WWI. We talked for about 30 min. I have an e-mail address and phone number and neither one works. I sent several test e-mails all came back, called Quest and had them try the number no go. So I'm thinking scam. I did ask how he found me, he said he call some women here in Emmett, so I called Sherri and he had called her first, she told him to call me. This guy new a little about our history but it seemed just a bit off.I don't have caller ID, but Sherri's shows a 670 area code with the number blocked. I'm going to Waite and see if he calls back I have more gestation's. I hope this is not a set up. Stay tuned !!

Later

Large wooden wheel. No doubt symbolizing our love of travel,
I think we should just design our own.

Area 670 is the Northern Mariana Nations (you know way WAY out in the Pacific) And I am thinking that if you actually call a number you will get a HUGE FREAKING phone bill. This is a common scam. Do not call, please. R
