Saturday morning, I got a phone call from jail from a nephew, I really don't know. He is my sister's grandson. But I've been told those phone calls can be very expensive.. Well he tried three times and I refused to take the call. I'm sure he wanted money, to put on his book. Now he has other siblings he could call. My sister passed away in February so he can't count on her anymore. He never called before he went to jail or when she passed. Plus, I've never met him, people have a lot of nerve. I feel for him, but won't start that.

That's good not to take his call. I can't stand people who call out of the blue just for money or wanting something else. Otherwise they would never associate with you.

Yep, I mean you could tell him you wish him the best, but you honestly don't have it to spare. It is nervy to come out of the woodwork and ask for cash though.

He needs to get a job "inside" if he wants money on his books. He has a lot of nerve calling you.

When my sister was living I helped him once, and you ate right.

That would be a tricky situation. It's tough to take a call in such situations. But I think that it is a wise thing to not fall for it. It might be a scam. And he is not your responsibility.

I don't blame you. Well, he'll just have to figure something out.

I know, things are bad with the economy and if I could I would not do it.

I am facing the same problems. The only difference is that it's not relatives but people who do my paid work like electrician and plumber keep asking for money which I know they will never return.

My nephew lives in another state. So I wouldn't get it either.

Are you sure it wasn't a scam? I hope not. Have a good week.
