Call very early in the morning, told me my Grandson had been in an accident and was held on a DUI in Atlanta. I was told he had a broken nose and needed to be bonded out with in 2 hours or would have to spend 30 days in jail. Person calling said he was a Public Defender named Jimmy Smith, and for $1175 he could get my grand son out in a couple of hours. I was told to send money gram and not to tel his parents, because he was embarrassed and wanted to wait until he got home to tell them himself. This call had to many RED FLAGS for me to do anything but report it. I am dismayed at the attitude of the police, I had return call numbers and the number they called from, but the police didn't seem to care.
Similar call as above. Morning call, Caller phoned my son's grandparents claiming that he was a public defender and that our 15 year old son was held on DUI 1500 miles away. The caller told them to meet them at a local supermarket with cash to free the 15 year old. Reported this number to the local police.
