I have no way of knowing if it was these guys, but someone tried this scam on my 91 year old mother-in-law a couple of weeks ago.
The caller claimed that my step son was in an accident in Florida and had injured a woman as a consequence and he needed money for a lawyer.
My mother-in-law still has a good mind. She doubted that her grandson was in Florida and called my wife to check out if he was in Florida.
She escaped the trap.
Yes, these types of scammers are everywhere.
We’ve had the IRS SCAM call us a couple of times................
