Victim Location 50158
Type of a scam Family/Friend Emergency
I received a call from a public defender in Chicago. He requested funds to pay the bail for the husband of our granddaughter living in Iowa. The attorney who was representing our great grandson said an auto accident had occurred and because a breathalyzer test indicated a slight excess of legal limit he had been booked on DUI. I was being asked to send the funds to an individual in the Dominican Republic. The judge would then release our great grandson and he would be required to take a 7 day class on DUI and at its conclusion all charges would be expunged and the bail money provided by us would be rebated. He currently is in jail and could be sentenced to 30 days on these charges
