I received a phone call. The person calling said "Hello Grandma. This is your
grandson." I asked which one (I have five grown grandsons). The caller
replied "Your oldest grandson." I said "Matthew?" He said "Yes. Look grandma
I attended my best friend's wedding in Arizona. I was pulled over by the
police and charged with a DWI. So, I am in jail and need money to hire an
attorney." I replied, "I don't know who you are, but you are disgusting and
what you are doing is illegal." He hung up the phone. Our caller ID indicated
it was a blocked phone number. That same evening my husband and I went to a
friend's home to play cards. When I told her my story...she said she had
received a similar call last month. I guess they have a way of knowing our
ages and that we would have grandchildren. So disgusting.
