Phone call from supposed grandson in jail in Atlanta on DUI. Call followed from David Bell "public defender" with a lot of info on supposed car accident and stating bail set @ $2800 but judge waived half so $1400 via western union. Money was sent and another call from "public defender's assistant" Peter Mulligan (Skype 661-748-0240) stating judge would not release until full bail paid. Another $1400 sent via western union. And both transactions confirmed by call back to 775-624-5689. Did not realize we had been scammed until the morning of June 15. Missed every single red flag so clear in retrospect! I think both phone numbers were cell phones. Money was sent via western union to Noel Ortega-Dominican Republic - Huge red flag on that address.
