First voice pretended to be granddaughter stating she had been arrested in Idaho. Used my name and knew our relationship. 2nd caller interrupted, identified herself as County jailer and said if I wanted to get her out of jail right away to Western Union $2600 US to an address in Lima, Peru, as it had to be an international bail bondsman. Granddaughter had lost her cell phone 3 months earlier and I was on her contact list with all of the data they needed to make it sound legit.
