Something similar happened to a nanny that worked for me.
Her phone rang and a male voice said something like, "We have your son and going to kill him unless you send $50,000 right now.
In the background she could hear a male voice screaming. The caller said we're beating your son and won't stop beating him until we get the money.
The nanny said, I don't have any money, but I can sell my house. The caller agreed.

Finally, I got involved. Told her to call her son right now. She called her son's cell phone and he answered and said everything is fine; I don't know what you're talking about.
It was a scam!hope not dumb twucker and Numb Thank this. -
That mama wasn't very knowledgeable about anything. The way they performed the "bail money" would have tipped me off
hope not dumb twucker Thanks this. -
They tried pulling that on a relative of mine a couple months back, impersonating a cousin who said they were in jail and needed bail money. When they couldn't name the jail or the city they told the scammers to #### off and hung up. They then called said cousin and confirmed it wasn't them on the phone.
