There is a person or persons calling individuals and  organizations, using 
someone’s name that is familiar to you.  The person  calls collect and says that 
they are calling from Canada and  have been mugged and are in the hospital or 
otherwise stranded.  They  claim their return ticket and all of their 
identity was taken (our caller  stated his nose was broken, explaining why his voice 
was  unrecognizable).  They will give you very little information and will say 
 that you cannot call them back because the phones are not working  properly. 
 In hopes of having you wire-transfer funds, they will give you  a password 
and tell you to use it when calling a toll free number at American  Express to 
coordinate arrangements between that company and Western  Union.   
Don’t do it!  American Express says it is bogus  and is a scam that has been 
going on for the last 1 1/2  years.
