Well that was interesting. So I had the munchies and only thing open at this time on a sunday is gas stations so went to one to get some chips.

I had my company wind breaker jacket on so an Indian guy approaches me to let me know that all our pay phones in town are hacked. He got scammed 20k from someone in India, and every time he tries to make a phone call as soon as "they" know it's him and the call gets disconnected.

Sounds kinda suspect to me but I will bring it up at work just to see if anyone heard anything weird like that. But to me if he really got scammed and thinks he's being watched he should probably go to the police.
