My daughter got a call from these idiots - called me all in a panic (good thing). I spoke with the town and campus police. Basically, they have gotten their hands on student directories and are methodically working their way through them.

If you've got kids in school, warn them so they won't be freaked out if and when they get such a call. I was a little amazed that my daughter almost fell for it, but they've actually spoofed the numbers of real FBI offices on their Caller IDs - and these kids will believe anything their phone tells them.

I am an alum (VA Tech)as well as a parent, so I immediately called the editor of the student paper, and after some investigation, they ran a story about it. Best way to fight this s--t is to get the word out.
