A Del Mar couple was recently the victim of a scam by a male caller claiming to be their grandson who said he had been arrested for DUI and needed $2500 to get out of jail.   He claimed that he was still drunk and hoarse which was why he may not have sounded like himself.  He asked his grandparents not to tell his wife and requested that the money be wired to him via Western Union.  When they did not hear from their grandson after a few days, they called him, only to discover that he never called to ask for money.  The victims have filed a police report and requested that DMCC alert our clients.
