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.

Ya these b*****ds took advantage of my 83 year old grandma and got her to send 1800 saying they were me, her grandson, and I got arrested in Canada. Then I came home for spring break 2 days later and my grandma realized I wasn't in jail in Canada.  Then a couple days later they called again and my grandma gave me the phone and I got to talk this scum a bit. They are scam artists and basically some of the lowest forms of pieces of s*** taking advantage of old people who have trouble knowing the difference.

we got the same message.  almost fell for it.  who are these people?
