Female, age 87, MadisonDetails
The victim, at first, started to take the bait, but after calling her daughter was convinced the young man calling her was not her grandson, but a thief. He had dialed her up last month claiming he had been arrested in Panama City, Panama, and needed the 87-year old to wire him $2,500. The woman called her daughter who told her this was a phone scam. The "grandson" called back and the grandmother called him out, saying she knew he was a phony trying to pull a fast one. He did not call back again.Released 07/03/2012 at 9:22 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
