    Long Island grandmother lures scammer into a trap

    Moment Long Island grandmother, 73, lures scammer into a trap as cops bust him for pretending to be her grandson in need of $8,000 to pay bond

    Jean, 73, a grandmother-of-seven retired 911 operator, helped catch a suspected elder scammer in Long Island on Thursday

    Man called Jean, claiming he was her grandson and needed money for bail after being involved in a DUI crash

    Jean knew it was a lie because all her grandchildren are either in elementary or middle school

    Jean also got calls from two other men pretending to be her bogus grandson's lawyer and bail bondsman

    Ring video shows suspect Joshua Estrella Gomez, 28, arrive at Jean's home to collect $8,000 for bail after posing as a bondsman

    As Gomez turns around to leave with envelope stuffed with paper towels instead of cash, two police officers jump out and arrest him

    Good for her. I got a call from a bogus granddaughter from Calgary, Alberta, claiming she was about to be charged with reckless driving.
