I had the same thing happen. These guys tried to scam my grandmother stating I went to Las Vegas with a friend on a whim and got busted by the police in Vegas for carrying albs of Marijuana. There was a guy that was on the phone talking to my Grandmother stating it was me and, not to tell anyone about this and to go to Walmart and get some gift cards in worth of $3,500 sent to Las Vegas Jail to help bail me out. My poor Grandmother almost did it. Thank goodness she actually called me to confirm at my actual home # but these guys had my Grandma wrapped and reeled, Almost? Anyway I called the number that she gave me and they said they were a law firm call Neil Installment & Associates. Man I was so hot when I was talking to the guy who pulled this crap and he held his story they were a law firm. Bull poop I said under my breath. So beware of the # 1 438 934 9005 as they are scammers and will say anything to get what they want. BTW This number is out of Canada just in case people are wondering.

This is a scam from Quebec calling older woman stating that a relative is in jail and needs money  DONT SEND MONEY
