This exact situation just happened to me calling my grandparents saying I needed money to be bailed out of jail when I wasn't. These sick people need to be stopped! Everyone should share this with their friends and family so this doesn't happen to any one else! If anyone knows how to get these greedy people stopped please share! Thank you!
These disgusting, no good low life pigs, just tried ripping my grandma off and they thought she was going for it but what they did'nt know is she would probably kick their [***] before she got anyone out of jail.. these stupid idiots.
My elderly mother just got a call from a girl who called her "Grandma" and told her that she was just in a car accident in Niagara Falls. She said her nose was broken in the accident and she was taken to jail. The "granddaughter" needed money to get out of prison. She gave my mom a name of a lawyer and asked my mom to call him at this number. When she called the number "the lawyer" told her to go to a Publix and wire him $900. He said not to call anyone because of his concern for confidentiality. She didn't send any money, instead my mom called me to check on why my daughter would be in Niagara Falls. While she was on the phone, I Goggled "438-985-5695" and found this site.
My grandmother just got scammed in the exact same way - and fell for it, sending these horrible people $800. I am going to report this to the FTC (1-877-382-4357) and would encourage others to do the same. The scam artists do not seem very bright - I called the number myself and asked for Stella Roberts (the "lawyer") and she answered and wouldn't give any info and hung up. She pick up when I called again and I let her know the attorney general and the FTC will know about this.
