This kind of thing is usually directed at elderly people with the caller saying they are a grandson or nephew, etc. and are in jail, they’re scared, and need money right away, please help me grandma. Someone tried this on my mom and was very convincing, but as soon as she told them “ now you know I can’t spend that kind of money without talking it over with your grandpa” they hung up.
Pretty much the scenario. After we realized what was going on and got the last call the wife told them I was on an airplane with the money and a lawyer so where do we deliver it? She/they hung up.
