my father in law was a victim of this last year. the caller claimed to be our daughter -she told him she was in jail. Dad asked why she sounded so funny & the caller said she was attacked & had her nose broken & needed medical treatment. it scared the bejeezus out of Dad. he hung up & called us,-- we'd heard of the scam & told him how it operates.
