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

Ya these bastards 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**t taking advantage of old people who have trouble knowing the difference.

This person just called my home number tonight. The nerve to imposter my oldest grandchild. Please be aware and send this alert out to as many people as you know. I hope everyone knows the voice of your grandchild to not get scammed again. This is a Quebec, Canada phone number. Bunch of crooks trying to get our hard earned dollars.
