This happened to my 86 year old mother. The caller said her grandson needed the money because of some crisis. I hv the only grandson so my mother called me from and at the direction of the bank teller. I told her that if my son had been in trouble he would call me not her. The teller got on the phone with me and said she told my mother it was a scam. Thank goodness for that teller.
