This guy called saying he was  my granson, that gone to Quebec with friends and they were in a fender bender, with a rental car,and needed money to be bailed out!!!When I told him he didn't sound like my grandson,he told me he had a cold due to the place they were in is very cold....He wanted me to send him $900., thru Western Union.He wanted it to be made payable to,Kevin Casse.He said he didn't want any of the family to know what happened,as he had 2 beers and had a breathalizer test and didn't pass it!!When I told him why did the check had to be made out to  Kevin Casse,he told me that was his friend that was going to bail him out!!He told me he was calling from a phone booth because the authorites took his cellphone and whatever money he had!!!!!He was to call me back  in 3 hrs.to get the tracking confirmation number,which it gave us time to go on the computer to check out this is a scam!!!!!!!
   What a sick jerk to do stuff like this to innocent, retired persons!!!!I see from other replies that his story was similiar to mine.

Call +1 888-495-8501 it's the Candian royal polices anti fraud line or go to www.recol.ca to report these guys it seems like they have tried to scam quite a few people from the same number and I think if enough people report it to the Canadian authorities they might be able to do something about it.
