If you do answer the phone. Hang up and call financial institution to see if all is good. Same thing if grandson calls and says he’s in jail. Call him….he will answer but think your crazy!🤪

Yes, unfortunately people (usually the elderly) continue to fall for that “grandson in jail” scam. My 90 year old mother was a victim to the tune of 3K when she wired it to the Dominican Republic to get my son out of jail before his father (me) could find out. The caller told her to not call dad, because I’ll get in trouble. The scammer then called her back the next day demanding more as the judge increased the amount. Luckily she wised up...albeit too late for the 3K !
