Bail Agent Impersonators Arrested

A mother and daughter who scammed citizens by impersonating bail bond agents have been arrested in the New Orleans area. The mother/daughter scam artists called intended victims (all over the age of 70) and told them that a loved one was in jail. (Some victims learned that their loved ones had never been arrested.) The team asked for a sum of money and went over to the victims’ houses and collected. One of the victims became suspicious and called police. The pair was arrested as they came to the home to collect the fake bail premium. Both the mother and daughter have been arrested for theft and conspiracy to commit theft. The original story ran here.
