SANTA CLARA — Police have arrested a man suspected of belonging to a national phone scam that bilked elderly people out of thousands of dollars by conning them in to believing their grandchildren were in trouble and needed large sums of cash fast.

Vamshidhar Reddy Kotla, 24, of Fremont, was booked at the Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of money laundering, forgery, conspiracy and grand theft, according to Santa Clara police. But jail records did not show anyone in custody under Kotla’s name, suggesting that he posted bail.

 

Authorities say Kotla came to police’s attention in Montana when the Richland County Sheriff’s Office were investigating a case with a 77-year-old man claiming to be a scam victim in Sydney, Montana. The man told deputies that an unidentified person called and convinced him that his grandson had been arrested and needed bail money.
