TAMPA, Fla. â A local woman is warning others after a scam call she said seemed all too real.
Kandy Garrett doesn't usually answer calls from unknown numbers. But one day in November, she said she was waiting for a call from a nurse after her husband's surgery. So when she got a call from a number with letters included in it, she still picked up.
"I'm expecting the nurse, and it's my daughter's voice crying, saying 'mom I've been in an accident,' and it's my daughter's voice and I hear a little bit of shuffling then a man answers the phone.
