About two weeks ago my father (76 y/o, technologically-savvy) nearly got burned by this scam, with the "caller" impersonating my nephew who is currently residing in Holland.<p>The "caller", crying, indicated that he had been in a drunken-driving accident the night before, was currently in jail, other party (a PREGNANT WOMAN) in critical condition, and in need of $9000 cash in short order. Oh yeah, the caller also indicated "whatever you do, don't tell my mom!"<p>A call to "mom" with a subsequent text message to my actual nephew showed the entire situation to be fabricated.
