SCAM---I am a police officer and this number called one of my citizen's pretending to be her grandson in Canada. The "grandson" said he was in a car accident and had a head injury and a broken arm. He had been released from the hospital but needed to pay for the rental car in order to leave Canada and return to the USA. He told her to go to a CVS Drug store and get 5 $500 money cards, totaling $2500. The grandson would then call her back a few hours later to get the numbers on the back of the cards to "pay the bill." This is a complete scam and my citizen did not fall for it. Her grandson was fine and at home. Please do not fall victim to this. It appeared they were targeting senior citizens.
