So awful, right? Promise me youll call me and someone else as a backup if I cant be reached if anyone ever call you like that.Source: Had this exact conversation with my parents.Someone called my friends mom and said they were a lawyer and her son-in-law he knew his name! was in jail and they needed to send money right away or he was going to be in really bad trouble. Mom and Dad drove to the bank, withdrew 5000 and went to a drug store to send the money. The people at the store refused to do it and convinced them to call my friend, who sorted it all out that BIL was okay and convinced her parents it was a scam.Friends uncle got one of those pop up on his computer about the computer being infected and needing to call this number right away. They got several hundred dollars in gift cards from him credit cards transactions wouldnt be safe, they told him? before he told his wife and they figured it out.Friends grandmother got a call from a police officer that her grandson and his pregnant wife again, accurate names and they knew she was pregnant had been in a terrible car accident and the woman and baby had died !!! and they needed money for the grandsons care right away. She took a cab to the bank, got money, one store refused to wire it, she went to Walmart and they did wire it. A little over a thousand dollars and the poor woman was completely distraught.These scammers are evil.
