The "Grandson in Jail" Phone Scam

One of the hosts describes receiving a "Granddad" scam call where a fraudster with a gravelly New York accent claimed to be his grandson in jail following a car accident. The scammer used the excuse of a broken nose to explain his unfamiliar voice. The host successfully thwarted the attempt by pointing out his actual grandson is only 12 years old, leading the caller to hang up.
