This happened to my mom today also. Same story. She got a call from my brother. He said he had been in a car accident after going to a wedding in Virginia and that he had been arrested for DUI. He said he had a broken nose from the air bag. He put his public defender lawyer on the phone. His name was Peter. He did not give her much information but said that the bail was going to be $250,000 but that the court would accept 10% ($25,000) for him to get out of jail. He said he would call later in the day. She called me in histerics. I went to her house and waited for the phone call. He did call back, he said his name was Peter Morgan. He said he would send me an E-mail with all the particulars and that we could talk again later. He gave me a return telephone number of 1-866-971-3388. After about a half hour, I called it, but it was an auto repair business in New Mexico. Then I searched thin internet and found this site and reaized it was a scam. I was relieved that my brother was OK. I was able to get him on the phone later at work. No money sent but it was emotionally draining.
