By JOHN MOLSEED

The woman received a phone call from someone claiming to be her son, who lives in Colorado. The man told her he had been in a car crash, wasn't hurt but was in jail and needed money for bail. He gave her a phone number, which was reportedly for an attorney she could call.

Thieves are using WiFi jammers to break into people’s homes, US cops warn

“If you are going to use a WiFi camera for your front door, perhaps consider using a hardline camera inside your home,” he said.

Wired cameras connected via Ethernet cables do not rely on WiFi networks and would not be disrupted by a WiFi jammer.
