THE mom of a college athlete has been scammed out of hundreds of dollars after being made to believe her son was in jail.

JoAnna Thomason of Monroe, Michigan said a scammer contacted her in the middle of the night last Tuesday.

The person on the other line claimed that her son had been arrested after he had been out partying following Michigan’s football team’s National Championship win.

Thomason said she was so flustered because the call woke her up in the middle of the night.

“I’m on the phone Googling all these things that he is saying, and they all are so legit,” she told local ABC affiliate WTVG.

“So, whoever this is has done so much homework that it’s so believable.”

Thomason’s son, Noah Miller, 19, is a freshman at the University of Michigan and the catcher for the Wolverine baseball team.

“They said he was facing trespassing, like, felonies and misdemeanors. There was open intoxicants and there was large groups of people,” Thomason recalled.

She noted that the scammer was playing tricks on her while they attempted to get Miller’s father on the line as well.

“There was a big association with wanting his dad and I on the phone to tie up our phones so we weren’t trying to get ahold of Noah,” she explained.

Thomason was able to get ahold of Miller’s roommates who said he was asleep in his dorm room.

However, it was too late as she and Miller’s father had already sent the scammer $250 through a friend’s CashApp.

Whenever they attempted to send more money, the transaction was declined.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to CashApp for comment.

Thomason noted that other parents of the baseball team were contacted by the same scammer who claimed their kids had been arrested.

It is unknown if Thomason ever received a refund of the $250 she sent to the scammer.

The U.S. Sun previously reported on a similar story where a woman’s CashApp was drained after buying a phone.

The woman said that she left her old phone with a store clerk while she did some shopping.

When she returned, everything seemed OK until she realized all of her money in CashApp had been removed.

“Somehow, what I had in my CashApp account, which was $1,818, he took it all and left me $.51,” she said.

Police opened up an investigation but CashApp reportedly was not cooperating.

“I’ll never get my money back, but he needs to go to jail if anything,” the woman said.
