A Long Island grandmother outsmarted a phone schemer who pretended to be her grandson, claiming he needed thousands of dollars in bail money.
A subsequent call from a man who said he was her grandson's lawyer stated he needed $8,000 to bail out of jail.

Video footage from her Ring doorbell camera shows Jean handing him an envelop — stuffed with paper towels. The man was identified as 28-year-old Joshua Estrella Gomez, of Mineola. He was charged attempted grand larceny in the third degree,. Police are now trying to determine if Gomez worked with others and whether he has done this before.
