I was hit with the "grandma is that you?" scam a couple of years ago. I swore at the guy and hung up. How did I know it wasn't legit? Because I don't have any children - and therefore no grandchildren.
This is a HUGE scam. If you've never heard of it, then you could some day become a victim of it. Be grateful you're learning about it now.

When I operated a computer store in Ohio, many many customers of mine related this story to me of this same scam as well as my father-in-law who did not fall for it. My son was needing money and ..... . It have been used for well over thirty years as a phone and Email scam with many people still falling for it.
