This post is related to other posts under another phone number - 438-275-2304. My elderly aunt got a phone call from someone claiming to be her grandson. He said he was in New York.  She asked him why because he was supposed to be out of the country teaching school.  He said a friend of his asked him to fly to New York with him to attend a wedding.  They rented a car.  His friend got pretty drunk and he asked him to drive and they had a terrible accident. My aunt asked him if he was hurt and he said just a finger was broken. He said tested over the limit for alcohol and needed money to get out of jail.  He asked her to contact his "lawyer", Richard Cohen at 514-586-2731 which she did.  Cohen told her it would be $3,000 and to send it via Western Union to Madrid, Spain.  The car rental business was owned by someone in Spain and she was supposed to give the transfer reference number to him and he would get her grandson out of jail.

She went to the Credit Union to get the money and the girl immediately told her it was a scam,that this is done pretty regularly especially to older people.   Fortunately,  this was enough to stop her from sending the money and to reach out to family for input.
