{Danville, Kentucky}...Police in central Kentucky are warning residents about a "relative in jail" scam in which the scammer emails or calls a relative claiming to be a cousin, uncle, niece or grandchild in distress overseas. Several Danville residents wired hundreds or even thousands of dollars overseas because they believed a distant relative was incarcerated and needed bail money. Police say checking with other relatives can help someone determine if a relative is in genuine need of bail money.
