Type of a scam Family/Friend Emergency

My 87-year-old mother was telephoned on April 6, 2016 by a man claiming he was her grandson. She was startled, so she inadvertently said the grandson's name. Then the man asked for $2,000 saying that her grandson had broken his nose in a wreck. He asked for a credit card, but Mom was alert not to give a credit card on the phone. He then asked her to buy $2,000 in I-Tune cards and said he would call her back to get the card numbers. Because she doesn't drive, she called her son-in-law to get the check. At that point, he knew it was a scam and explained the scam to my mom. He stayed at her home until the man called back. He told the man he was the uncle and asked the man to call him by name. When the man could not call him by name, he hung up. Fortunately, Mom did not lose any money, but the grandparent scam is still going on.
