Grandparent Telephone Scam Touches Rexburg

by cindyc January 20, 2010

Yesterday my parents in Rexburg got a call from a “public defender” telling them that their grandson Eric was in jail in Canada and needed them to wire money for bail. Luckily they did not. Today I see that the same scam is working in Utah. The caller had a TON of [...]

- Guest_655 : HELLLOOOOOOOOOOO O
- Guest_655 : anyone online
- Guest_655 : anyone there
- Guest_655 : hello this working
- Guest_655 : hi
- rehnrehn :
- Dabubba : Check out www.DesignsbyDre ana.com. Andrea did my wedding photo's and was at least 50% cheaper than anyone else and did a GREAT job call her at 406-4468. SHE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB!
- veles2003 :
- Guest_3070 : I wish the local news websites would update their news stories more often. 6 is terrible, 3 and 8 better. I hate logging in an noon and only seeing the same stories from last night!
- Nikola Tesla : The site should otherwise work normally
- Nikola Tesla : Trying to add some new "social" functions when logged in. NONE of it is working yet. It might be a couple days so thanks for tolerating
- Nikola Tesla : thanks
- Guest_4172 : Thanks Nikola. The 'Cool Funny Jokes' and 'Good Child Photographers' ones still have some spam.
- Nikola Tesla : Hello Gals and Fellas...I cleaned out a bunch of crap in the forum...let me know if I missed anything. Sorry about that
- Bundy. : Mr. Eagle, I have an article pending publishing "What's Wrong With The Wood Project?" Please check it out and release it if you find it acceptable!
- Guest_3070 : Linda 33 you must be one lonely gal...yeah, either clean up the QA or can it, spammers took over. Heck, give me the password and I'll keep it cleaned.
- Guest_913 : Yes, it definitely needs cleaned up, if not deleted. Too bad, it had nice potential.
- Guest_1111 : The Q & A section never panned out they way it was intended anyway. It ended up turning into a big spam magnet. Time to put the Q&A out of its misery and pull the plug.
- Guest_913 : I think it's past time to allow certain combinations of letters in the alphabet to be used in the Q & A forum posts that allow regular words to be used. For example: A person should be able to write the word 'assistance' without having the first 3 letters chopped off.
- Guest_84 : I'm trying to find an old friend of mine named Brook Smith. I think her family lives there now
- Guest_84 : Hi are you in Idaho Falls?
- Guest_2517 : Geeze...New Poll Please, please, please!!!
- discount erectile : I added your blog to bookmarks. And i'll read your articles more often!
- Guest_2857 : h
- Guest_3070 : Hey don't post links unless you say what they're about!
- Guest_333 : I am not fat, I am healthy. I know some people that are heavy in weight. A couple of them are healthy, and it's up to them so far, to live the life they want to live. So until something changes, they have the right to respect, and to do what they will. You are no better then they are, and correct me if I am wrong, #5013...but it sounds quite bigoted of you to write such, maybe even a little self conscience. And yes I agree that the number is minuscule.
- Guest_1111 : papas gotta brand new bag booyaaah!
- Guest_1111 : oh yes its ladies night, and I'm feelin right, oh yes its ladies night oh what a oooh whaddahh niight...
- Guest_9520 : badonkadonk
- Guest_9520 : Jose Cuervo
- Guest_1080 : bill Mckeever
- Guest_2311 : but its probably the same with dnc tactics
- Guest_2311 : leaked RNC fundraiser strategy slideshow reveals they are playing off small donors "fear" and big donors "ego" «link»
- Guest_Cornfritter : last year we had a discussion about this issue and somebody wrote the exact same thing. I don't remember the name of the post but I remember somebody saying something very similar to what 1471 wrote.
- Guest_3070 : 1471- was that part of another discussion I missed???
- Guest_5013 : the way I see it is: loose the weight feel better & live longer and stop making excuses for your weight problem.
- Guest_5013 : sounds like somebody is trying to justify their obesity. The fact is, the amount of people you're talking about is so miniscule its not even worth arguing.
- Guest_1471 : After all, there are examples of obese people who somehow stay metabolically fit — no high blood pressure or high blood sugar or high cholesterol. "If fat cells functioned perfectly, you could be as obese as you want and not have heart disease," says Dr. Carey Lumeng of the University of Michigan

- Guest_3070 : Q&A forum has gone to the spammers again. Ugh - how can they be blocked for good?
- Guest_3070 : Too funny, guy swallows his flash drive after raid and they wait days for him to ...ahem .... purge it out. «link»
- Guest_2854 : I heard the other day, that the NFL is changing the way overtime is played. Does anyone know more about this?
- Guest_3070 : Ah, we read your material with much interest too.....
- buy cheap generic : I liked it. So much useful material. I read with great interest.
- Guest_4393 : But all the players are in the NHL, so a lot of the guys i like played for Canada...So the way i see it, we all won by watching a great game for hockey fans on both sides of the border.
- Guest_4172 : I bite my nails anyway. But sure, I'll attribute it to the game. And now, Obama has to pony up some Molson.
- Guest_13 : What a awesome way to end the games with that nail biter of a hockey game last night. Just incredible! (even though we lost.)
- Guest_13 : A big Thank You to our Canadian neighbors for doing such a great job hosting the Winter Olympics.
- Guest_4172 : oops, I spoke too soon...just saw that he did. ha ha! gotcha!
- Guest_4172 : Dang, he didn't take the bait. It WAS all he had to say about it!
- Guest_1527 : New poll please.
- Guest_Chickenhawk : we all know scientific studies dont mean squat except to liberals and atheists.
- Guest_2311 : but we all guessed that already right?
- Guest_2311 : «link»
- Guest_2311 : waddya know scientific study proves liberals and atheists have higher IQs
- Guest_2486 : Olympic medal count: USA-32, Germany-26, Norway-20
- Guest_2486 : live by the volcano, die by the volcano.
- Guest_3432 : As the ols saying goes "visit Yellowstone before it visits you"
- Guest_Chickenhawk : There is no Chick-fil-A in town. As for Hotels it all depends on how much you want to spend. If you're coming up north on I-15 take the Broadway exit and there are a number of hotels there along the river.
- Guest_2296 : Traveling to IF in a couple of weeks. Is there a Chick-fil-A in town and what hotel would you recommend near the interstate?
- Guest_Chickenhawk : It does sit on top of the worlds largest super volcano. It may not blow today or tomorrow but it will blow eventually. I doubt it'll happen in our lifetime but as Mr.Coates can tell you, you can't predict what'll happen with mother nature.
- Guest_1218 : are we going to die soon from yellowstone?
- Guest_1 : :@:)
- Guest_1 : hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hihihihihi
- Guest_1 : hi
- Guest_2486 : Yes I know them! Every grade school kid in the country knows the words to our national anthem! At least they did when I was in school, it's probably different in this day and age.
- Michael Coats : lol thanks for the hot news tip, I thought I felt the earth shake last night
- Guest_342 : exciting Sarah Palin speech at idaho falls civic auditorium last night, made national news: «link»
- Michael Coats : chance of fog Friday AM with "fog snow"
- Michael Coats : the snow hit a little later in Idaho Falls than we thought it would, but this morning expect some light snow showers, just the leftovers from yesterday.
- Guest_4172 : Maybe you should offer to teach them the words. Do you know them?
- Guest_4172 : I can't believe that.
- Guest_2486 : & thats all I have to say about that.
- Guest_2486 : I noticed the same last year during the main olympics. I think it should be a requirement. If you want to represent our country, take 5 minutes out of your training schedule to learn the words!
- Guest_2486 : What bothers me about the Olympics is that none of our athletes know the words to our national anthem! The other athletes from every other country either sing or at least mouth the words to their anthem during the medal ceremony but not the US and it's pretty dissapointing to see.
- Guest_2486 : it'll snow tomorrow because they forcasted "no snow for Thursday".
- Guest_3774 : «link» cooked cat ewwww supposedly a delicacy.
- Guest_3774 : robbed again
- Guest_3774 : wheres all the snow mr micheal coates?
- Guest_4262 : the city said back a while ago a parking structure would cost too much, so they want their pie, but don't want to pay the pipper
- Guest_1074 : I love the city's plans for Memorial Drive. I don't like driving through that parking lot. It's about time the city moved the parking and pushed ahead with its greenbelt expansion.
- Guest_3770 : Anyone have any ideas on getting the city to give up their ridiculous plans to convert Memorial Drive?
- Guest_470 : seems to be if you are 13 or over that's what you do here....i say that because of all the teen moms out with their trendy strollers with baby Arishatelle llyyynnda or baby ritchee arizoana
- Guest_470 : guest 446 i think the teenagers in idaho falls are getting in the sack with each other.
- Nikola Tesla : Deal!!!
- Guest_6177 : I can pay you with a 50lb bag of potatoes, hows that? I'll even throw in 2 ears of corn.
- Nikola Tesla : Sure! but it will cost ya
- Guest_6177 : I need my engine overhauled in my 67 Ford pickup....can anyone recommend a mechanic that will do it for free?
- Guest_938 : who does free dental work in my area?
- Guest_4466 : Hey, i have a question, what the teenagers do in idaho falls?
- Guest_396 : What a coincidence! I went to the movie today and walked right into the lobby looking for my friend. She hadn't yet arrived and when she did we realized I got in without paying! Stupid is as stupid does.
- Guest_252 : Greetings from the middle of the ocean!
- Guest_Chickenhawk : cluck cluck
- Guest_1007 : the greenbelt project is another example of wasteful spending by our local government. come election time we need to remember those responsible & replace them.
- guest : The greenbelt isn't the problem, read the last 2 posts, they pretty much spell out why the schools don't have enough money
- Guest_630 : Why are we so intent on spending more money on the Greenbelt when we don't have enough money for our schools and other higher priorities in our community?
- Guest_6177 : Afterall, this is a small town and they have a hard enough time coming up with newsworthy storys
- Guest_6177 : agreed
- guest : agreed
- Guest_3124 : Oh my hell we all need to get a life. Seriously....ser iously anyone angry about getting held up by the president is just down right pathetic.
