Several months ago, I had the same scam call...Hi Grandma, this is your grandson, Kevin, calling from Canada. He said he was with 2 other guys on a road trip to Canana and got into an accident. One of the guys had marajuna. They put us all in jail and even though I didn't have marajuna, I have to go in front of the judge to get out of jail. So, I need $3500 for bail, etc etc etc. He told me to call an attorney that they had given him. Of course, \when I got off the phone, I called Kevin...asked him where he was....and he said that he was sitting in his college class!
I have also received emails supposedly from relatives or friends, saying that their wallet and passport had been stolen, and they needed to borrow money to get home from Europe. Also a scam that has been going around for years.
Why don't you call your sister's step son and ask him, so you're Father will be convinced.
