Caller called elderly parent and stated that their son was in trouble and needed $1800.

This morning call came in from this cell phone number to my
elderly parents land line phone. The caller claimed to be the
"oldest grandson" but avoided giving his phone number
every time when asked. He claimed to been in a car
accident in the Dominican Republic and needed
$1,800.00 as soon as possible... I called this phone
number (California exchange) and got a recording
stating "This phone number has been hacked" call your
local police department and make a report concerning
this matter (words to that matter). I did and now
awaiting for the police department to call me back
where we can make an official report

I got a call today same story wanting $925.00.  They got tired of me talking and hung up.

Caller from this number called my elderly mother stated her grandson broke nose and jaw and needed money for the hospital bill,caller even knew grandsons name.This caller needs flogged badly

Called my grandmother with the same Dominican Republic car wreck story.  Knew my first and last name, and that I had just been to a wedding. She hung up on him, as she knew I was not in the D.R.
