To the editor,

Last Friday I got a call from someone saying he was our grandson in Denver and he said he was jail – he was accused of hitting a car and had then failed a drunk test by a half point. He had the Denver Police Station number the person I should talk to. Well, by this time I am in panic mode. Call the police number and he told me that we would have to pay $3,000 to get him out of jail. Since we are in Texas, we could go to Walmart and purchase three $1,000 prepaid cards.

We decided that we would go to the bank and get the $3,000 in cash before we went to Walmart to pay for the cards. I went to the service desk with the three cards in my hand and told them I needed $1,000 on each card. The person asked me what I needed them for and I was so worried I almost told her it was none of her business. But I said it was for my grandson to get him out of jail. She looked at me and said I was being scammed.

It took another person to come and tell me the same thing before I believed them. Well, it took Walmart a few times to make be me believe but I have to say a big thanks to Walmart for saving me $3,000.

I hope no one else will go through this. Don’t take their word. Hang up and call the person. My grandson was at home and fine.
