A few years ago my dad told us a story about the call he got for the grandson needing bail from a foreign country scam. Immediately he was skeptical and asked "which grandson?" the scammer's reply was "Your favorite one." Yeah right he thought and ended the call. People just need to ask questions and figure it out before hurrying to send money to these scammers. Easy to say, but don't become a victim.
