Received call similar to above, saying is oldest grandson -- generally the same story but in Dominican Republic, although as it went on and the caller eventually disconnected, he appeared to be heading for request for money
Called my 80 year old father and said "Grandpa, I need help. Don't call my parents. I broke my nose thats why I sound funny. I am in jail, and I need some cash to get out. I will pay you back later. Oh by the way I am in Santo Domingo. I was driving because my friend was drunk, but I had a couple of sips of champagne and I wrecked, so now they arrested me. Send me a moneygram pls" Upset my Dad even though on some level he knew it could'nt be true, since you cant send a 12 year to Santo Domingo by himself, or give him champagne, or drive...
