fraudulent call asking elderly to wire money

Got a call from a young man posing as my grandson and identified  himself by the correct. He sounded like my grandson.  Told me not to tell anyone.  He said he was in an accident and broke his nose.  He needed bail money.  He explained what had happened and then turned me over to a David Bell who identified himself as a Public Defender.  Said my grandson needed bail money in the amount ofXXX..The said to send the money by mailgram.  To by pass the IRS, send the money to Dominican Republic.  If you get a call like this...hang up.. It is a scam.  For those of you who have children or grandchildren out of state,  call the parent ASAP.  These scammers are good.  The have their narrative down to a science.  They have an answer for possible question you may have.  Don't promise the person(s) you are talking too. Take all the information down and then hang up...don't do anything.  Good Luck
