Definitely a scam. FYI: my parents were just victimized by the "Grandparent Scam." Google it if you are not familiar with it but very similar except this is via phone call. It is going around so alert your friends and family, especially the elderly. An imposter called pretending to be my nephew who is currently stationed in the mid-East with the USAF. Needed help -- car accident -- broken nose, reason he sounded different. Needed $ for bail as he went to friend's wedding in Domincan Republic and got in an accident after having a couple of drinks and was jailed for DUI. Shhh... don't tell anyone because I'm too embarrased and don't want my parents to find out. My parents fell for it and unfortunately have learned a $4000 lesson.
