“He said he was in jail,” she continued. “He said he got into an accident with his friend, Dave. It was Dave’s car. He found pills in the glove compartment. He was arrested, and he was in jail, and he needed the bond money. … And he had a few tears, and he told me he loved me.”
The scammer said he needed $9,300 Canadian, about $6,800 U.S., for bail money. It was the third such call she had received in a year. Bednarik sprang into action. She addressed the scammer by a name that was not her grandson’s, then bought some time by telling him she needed to call her bank and make sure she could take out such a large sum of money all at once. The scammer said he’d call back in 15 minutes. Instead of calling the bank, she called the police.
“And then I bought another hour because I told him my husband wasn’t home, and I needed the car to go get the money,” she said. Police then set up “static surveillance” around her home. When the two scammers showed up to Bednarik’s house to collect the cash, police intercepted and arrested them. They then recovered two more packages with money from two previous scams, a police press release stated.
