Over the past few weeks grandfather was contacted by someone from 917-563-2384 and was on the phone for a long time. Today, he was rushed to the hospital due to his diabetes and he would not give up the phone. He kept getting calls and saying "give me my funds." We thought this was odd and after doing some checking it looks like he has given someone most of his money. We found out that my grandfather asked my sister to drive him to the bank and to FedEx and told her not to tell anyone. I got his phone and found the number and called it. When I asked what business this was he said it was the FBI & his name was Jacob Wright. I asked where he was located and he said in Chicago. When I asked for the address he said he would only give me the location when I got into Illinois. I was back at the house when the landline rang and it was the same person, but this time his name was John Green. We are trying to figure out how much was lost and who these people are.

Type of a scam Travel/Vacations

First thing the person said when I answered the phone was CAN YOU HEAR ME (and it was very loud) so I tried to turn my volume down and of course said "yes" Then the caller went on to say I won a all expense vacation to Disney for two people. I did not say YES again and hung up the phone as the MAN was talking about the vacation. One of the questions below is "did the victim lose money" well, as of right now, since this just happened I didn't lose any money but I don't know if I will in the future for saying Yes initially. I assume had I stayed on the phone longer it would have asked for my credit card/debit card information but I did not stay on the phone long enough so I have no clue if they were going to ask me for money.
