Some years ago there used to be this very popular scam in my country: you get a call from an alleged police officer,who explains that your daughter/son/cousin/whatever made a huge car accident and is about to go to jail unless it's 'resolved' with some money. So many people got swindled for absurd amounts of money. However one case stuck most in my memory: the police got called by a woman who was about to fall for such scam. Fast forward to the end and the journalist asks to tell what happened. So she gets a call from someone, saying her son is arrested for drink driving and causing an accident. He needs money for this to go away. The woman goes to the neighbor to borough the money and the neighbor seeing her in distress,asks for more details. Finally she tells the woman: you haven't got a son...
