Caller called my Mother and impersonated my daughter. She even referred to my Mother and her husbands by their nicknames. The caller said that she had been in an accident in Trinidad, and was afraid to call me. She asked that they send $2600 in the form of wired funds to a bank account in Trinidad. She also said that my mother would receive a call from a Sarah Reed, who was with "the Embassy", and receive further instructions....which actually happened. Long story short, this was a TOTAL scam. My daughter is fine, never called my mother, and "Sarah Reed" has a voicemail account that is inactive.

Caller called my GRANDMOTHER impersonating me this morning. Told her that I was in Switzerland and had rented a car and gotten in an accident and received a D.U.I. Caller said she (I) was at the embassy now and needed to pay $2500 and leave the country. Told her to wire a moneygram and call this number when she was done. Luckily the people at the bank warned her this is a known scam and she called me (with money in hand) to verify where I was! I can't believe it! What a bunch of [***]! My grandmother was convinced it was my voice and almost lost that money!
