The government is warning senior citizens about a new Spring Break scam where con artists call grandparents and ask for money. They start the call by saying, "Grandpa, it's me, your grandchild, " and then wait for the grandparent to answer, "(name of Spring Breaker), is that you?" The con artist then says he or she needs them to wire money to cover a car crash, an arrest, border taxes or medical needs.
A Japanese fire station almost burned to the ground after a firefighter forgot to turn off the stove before leaving for an emergency call. A Nagoya City Fire Department official says 10 fire trucks from other stations put out the fire. "We are an institute that should be in a position to educate people about fire, so we are extremely sorry that such an incident happened."
A Russian man was recently arrested for shooting a clerk at an adult toy store. The unidentified suspect opened fire after the salesperson refused to refund his money on a pack of anti-impotence pills. The clerk is expected to survive and says the man was upset because the pills failed to work.
