Type of a scam Family/Friend Emergency

Female caller acted as our granddaughter. She was sick and then in an accident. She cried telling us she hurt the other driver. She was at fault…texting while driving. She was arrested and we were her only phone call. She asked if we could help. She needed $9000 bond posted until she had to appear in court in two months. Also there was a gag order on her case…we couldn’t tell anyone. Lots of red flags for us. I asked what courthouse, what city, etc. and she couldn’t tell us except in generalities. I challenged the legitimacy of the call and she hung up.
