SCAM! Do NOT send money to these people. Claim to have my grandson in jail and need $5,000 to bail him out and that I need to go to Western Union with cash only. Tell me to not tell anyone else. SCAM! They say they are calling from Chicago, but to send money to Puru. Actual call comes from Canada. Why are people so mean to scam the elderly!!! Horrible people and I hope they pay for thier crimes!
