My grandmother got a call from scammers pretending to be me. They didn't use my name, but I was the only adult granddaughter at the time lol. Anyway, the scammers said that they needed money for hospital bills and a bus ticket home. They said they got into a fight at a friend's funeral in New Jersey and had to go to the hospital. And then after that their car got stolen. My grandmother knew that I was not in New Jersey, and told the scammers that she'd call them back once she got to the bank. She then informed my parents, who told me. It was hilarious.
