An article about a cell phone scam that is making the rounds in the Salt Lake metro was published on KSL's web site this morning. The calls are coming from numbers with a Grenada (473) area code, and the numbers are in the 520-97xx format. The caller is claiming that someone is in distress and needs help, and the way they make their money is when someone tries to return the call. I got a call on my cell from 473-520-9700 at 8:00 AM on New Year's Day. That was my first clue that something was rotten, so I let the call go to voice mail. KSL is reporting that people in the Salt Lake area have also received calls from 473-520-9734. Needless to say, if you receive a call on your cell phone from the 473 area code, do not answer the call! Just a heads up for those who may not have heard about this decade old scam.
