Scamming - Fraud
Do not text or call 516-597-7317. This because a scammer claiming to be Roderick Miller tried to scam me by hacking my friend's messenger account. He asked me to text him at 516 597 7317, claiming he was with the financial empowerment program and that he could send me $50,000 if I would send him money for a certificate fee. I called his bluff and haven't heard from him since. Wanted to report him.
The telephone number 516-597-7317 originates from the state of New York. It is most likely a Landline number from White Plains in Westchester issued by Cablevision Lightpath, Incorporated: NY. The number may also be from Garden City, New York, United States.
