Most grandparents don't see their grandkids often enough to recognize them for certain, so scammers send messages like "Grandpa help it's an emergency and I can't reach Mom and Dad if I don't put up bail money they're gonna throw me in jail".

LOL. He was pretty surprised to hear that when I called him to check.

of when I went to get my first mobile phone about 30 years ago and found out I was dead.

Some years ago I got a letter from a major insurance company wanting to know if I was dead, and if I was, who should they send the life insurance money to. Turned out that my mom had taken out a policy on me at birth, which was not an uncommon thing back in the 1950s. And thanks Mom, I was able to borrow some money against the policy to help pay for my daughter’s college bills.

The yacht company wasn’t impressed…darn!

Where did she say she is?
I need to help her, again.
She can be a pain.
Again, I'm sorry, Floyd.

I figure they get it off of Facebook.

Last caller who said he was my grandson had an extreme NY accent. We live in NM. The caller says - “Hello Grandma- this is your grandson _____.
Big clue as my Grandson always just says Hi Grandma. Plus, I rarely answer the phone for I number I don’t recognize.

The caller hung up when I asked why he was talking with a NY accent.

My “grandson “ is always stuck in Mexico.
