they trying to take your money

My customer received a call from this number claiming to be grandson, and to send $4,600 becuase he was in a Haitian Jail, and to send the money Western Union. Definite Scam.

victim of the grandparent scam on 1/29/13. Received a call that grandson out of state was in a car accident and broke his nose. The accident was his fault and he was in jail. He put his lawyer on the phone because he was in too much pain. Wired $2000 to Uraguay and was ready to wire $2000 to Peru today until the bank was alerted and stopped me.

Elderly family member received call claiming to be lawyer "Mr. Baylew?" helping her grandson who had a broken nose and was in courthouse explaining muffled unrecognizable voice. Needs help with money. When she started asking suspicious questions of caller they hung up.

I was at my grandmother's house in Indiana. We received a call from a supposed attorney for her grandson in Wisconsin. The information was correct but not detailed. They said he'd been in an accident and was in jail. That he didn't want to get into trouble but needed money to settle with the foreign family he'd hit after running a red light. We called the police and they've heard the story. Not much they can do.

This very same thing happened to my parents (who live with me) today - they received a phone call from my son (sounded exactly like him) that he was in an accident, his nose was broken and that he was in jail. That they were not to tell me or his father, he wanted to handle the situation.  Phone was then handed to "Robert Turnner" the public defender, his 'lawyer licence #0469' and that the arresting officer was state trooper Frank Harris.  My parents got two calls, and when started asking more detailed questions they hung up.  My mom called local police departments and was informed it was likely a scam.   I have spent the last hour trying to track my son down at school just to confirm he is indeed there, but what a horrible thing to do to manipulate people and sending them into panic.

So this exact same thing and wording and story happend to my 80 yr old mom yesterday.  She sent her $1500.00 to the Dominican Republic!!!! I hope these people burn in HELL

Received call from man sounding like nephew saying he was being held in county jail and asked me to hold on for attorney. Man got on phone and said court needed $2250 ASAP to release from jail on reckless driving charge. Money to be sent to email:  m.partades22@gmail.com.  Caller gave name of attorney firm.  All untrue.

My mother received a call from "my son" who had been in an accident and was being held in jail.  For $200.00 the wired to Haiti the issue would go away and he would get out of jail.   My son was at college working and had not even left the campus.  A CVS clerk advised against doing this because she had heard of or knew of scams.  The money was not wire and my parents are not out the $2000.00.  Thank goodness for a person who really believed in true customer service.

Just had these people call my mother with the same story. She had my nephew take $ 2000 to walmart to wire it to hatti. Thank goddness he called me before he sent it. Called my son to make sure it was a scam.... When they called back they were pissed that they called his dad !!! Nothing the police can do I hope they get thiers in the end !!!

my gram was targeted this morn by the same [***].  yhank god I do her finances  shes 83 and the guy said her grandson hit sombody that was from haiti  wanted her to wire 2000 so he would drop charges. I made some calls n my cousin was at work and not in jail. wish the low life would call me now

My 90 year old neighbor received similar call today.  Her grandson was in auto accident using cell phone and since it's against the law needed her to send $2000 to expunge his record.  Don't tell anyone and go to CVS and get 4 $500 green dot cards and give them the code number scratched off of the bottom When they  call her back. She would have to go to 2 different stores because they won't let her by more than 2, gave her the addresses and told her not to speak to her bank.  Thank goodness she called me for a ride to go to the bank and cvs and told me what happened.  I checked the phone number and found these comments.  Strange enough she had just received and insurance check and thought what a blessing she can bail him out! Thanks for all this information.  I am glad I was able to show her it's a SCAM!! How do these people sleep at night!!!!!!!

Just returned from my neighbor's house, they called her back to get the card numbers, she told them she wasn't able to get the cash at the bank to get the cards and then she asked to speak to her grandson. A young man answered and she told him she wasn't able to get to the bank so he's have to spend the weekend in jail and he hung up.  I told her not to answer the phone when the #999-999-2112 came up on the caller id.

This phone number called my parents and told them that my son was in a bad accident he broke his nose and he was in jail and they need to $3000 wired to get him out of jail.  Contacted our son he is attending school and he was fine and this clearly appeared to be a scam.

elderly parents receive a call from the above number stating son was in a car accident an needs $2000.00  
elderly parents panicked and when we called the number back it was always busy
called son and found out he was in bed sleeping

I am a pharmacy employee and elderly
Come in all the time.  If a caller ever asks the customer to buy a green dot money pack card.  It's a scam. No lawyer, electric company, bondsman, doctor etc will ever ask you to buy a money pack card and call th back with the number.  They will take a credit card by phone.  So many people are scammed and it's horrible.  Please talk to your elderly parents about these scams

they called me today saying my grandson was in jail and couldn't talk. they needed money bc he was in trouble. he has stiches and a broken arm. they wanted 3000k

My husband's parents in New York got a call from these people letting them know their son is in the hospital getting ready to be arrested and they needed 1400.00 to rescue him !  Please let your parents know about this scam !

this person just tried contacting my grandmother saying that I was in a bad accident in jail and needed money wired to this number to help me out she THANK GOD.   she called me to double check to see if I was okay because she was getting ready to go into town and wire this guy money to get me out of jail it is a total fraud

My inlaws got a call saying my son was in a car wreck and broke his nose. he handed the phone over to a lawer and he said he could get my son out quickly if he could get 4000 dollars of iphone gift cards. Luckily they called me and I tracked down my son and every thing was good.
