This is an ongoing scam which appears to originate in Puerto Rico or  the Dominican Republic.  It seems to be striking the northeast section of the US.  I would definitely go to the police and make a report.  They may not immediately be able to find the people making the calls but they can go to the media and let people in the local community  know what's happening and that people should be on the lookout for this scam.  Yes, by all means make a police report.  But, go in person.  Don't try to phone it it in, because the person on the line will simply say something to the effect that it's a scam and just forget about it.  You need a paper report.  And your local LE  needs to go to the media.  They will,  if enough people complaint.
