Yesterday my grandparents received a call where the caller attempted to get money from them by pretending to be one of their grandkids who was making a call from jail because they had hit a pregnant woman with their car. They said something along the lines of "we are calling because we are scared to call mom and dad" continues to ask for 15 k in bail, switches to accomplice who pretends to be public defender and confirms story. They claimed to be calling from Arlington, Va. I'm not sure if they gave a name or just said hey grandma. There were a lot of hints that it was a scam and thankfully my grandparents didn't give out any personal information or money. They contacted my parents and after a bit of panic they all got in contact with me. When they tried calling the number back it was disconnected. So yeah guard your old folks.
