Received call saying a relative had been a passenger in a car with narcotics under the driver's seat. Post bond through Western Union to release person. It took awhile to verify that this was a scam.

Received a call from an individual claiming to be Tyler James from the Chicago Police department.  Stated that a family member was in trouble and needed $1800.

This is a scam.  DO NOT trust this caller.  

Caller has been traced and more information will be posted after suspect is contacted.

My elderly Mom got a call from a Tyler James of the police dept stating he had her grandson in jail and needed $1800.00 bond for him to released.  Preying on my Mom's good heart,  the money was to be in cash and sent to a small town in Ecuador under her Grandsons name through a Money Gram.  Well unfortunately, my Mom fell for the scam.  I hope someone checks this number and reads this before they act on this ruthless scam.  Investigations are underway to catch these creeps!!
