Yes, we received a call, unfortunately, it sounded so real and my grandson travels out of state all the time and when they placed "him" on the phone to speak to me and it sounded like my grandson, I foolishly sent the money. I am regrettably out $3,000.00.

Claimed they were from the Embassy in Panama and our granson was in jail and needed $3000 to bail him out.  Wanted to call his most trusted relative and were told not to tell anyone.  We got ahold of our grandson - he was in the USA!
