If one of my relatives were in jail, too bad.

Ha! And some of my relatives who are not in jail belong there.
Anyway, it’s amazing how clever (and how evil) these scammers are.
They’ll use a recording of a sobbing, terrified girl saying “Grandma, I’m in jail. Please, please help me!” Then the recording cuts off. The scammer comes on, identifies himself as a police officer, and says a $1000 bail must be paid immediately.
These calls go out automatically to thousands of phone numbers. Some people recognize the scam. Some people aren’t even grandmothers. But maybe one person out of 10,000 believes it. And that’s a decent payday for the scammers.
