‘The crying. The theatrics’: Man says scammer pretended to be someone he raised

Jay Mattier reported a scam where a caller impersonated a young man he raised, claiming to be in an accident and needing money for a bond. The scammer used fake crying and a convincing lawyer to pressure him, but Mattier avoided sending money after verifying the situation. Attorney Jason Stoogenke advised recognizing such scams by checking for code words or inconsistencies.
