Telephone scammers who bilked older Americans for at least $87 million by impersonating law…
Thai police announced Wednesday they have busted a gang that operated call centers to deceive elderly U.S. citizens into wiring them money, netting more than 3 billion baht ($87 million).



Said they were calling from "Assured Legal" about "the accident I had a while ago". Asked them to hold while I "went to look for the paperwork" (made a cup of tea). They hung up after a few minutes.
