Someone going by the name Kevin Barnes call my mother saying that our son (her grandson) was in jail and needed bail...they even had someone who said it was our son talk to her...he asked that she not tell anyone about this but to please send bail money...Kevin then told her how & where to send the money...she did...then they called her back looking for more money... a lot more...she called us and we figured out this was a SCAM...
He stopped answering his phone after we talked to him but now may be answering it again...

Same thing happened to a friend of mine. Saying her grandson was in jail...He was in LA county Jail they wanted the money to be sent to NY but this "Deputy Kevin Barnes" said he was located in LA but the 438 area code is located in Canada so it didn't make any sense.
