Phone call saying they were my grandson. I told them they had the wrong number. ( I don’t have a grandson) They then said they were Nathan, my nephew. He was in a car accident, and in jail because drugs were found in the car. (Not his car and he was not driving. Sounded different because air bag broke his nose.) Asked me to call his lawyer, Jerry Diner at this number 1-438-920-9487. I didn’t call and within 15 minutes I received a call staying he was Jerry Diner calling about Nathan. I told him that I had reported him to the District Attorney and to have a nice day. I then hung up.
