Tip
of the Week
Grandparent Scam - Don't Be a Victim
The suspects in this
type of scam will call an elderly person and pretend to be a grandchild or young
relative of the victim. They tell the elderly victim they are in some type of
trouble and are in jail, and that they need bail money. They ask the elderly
person not to tell their parents. A second suspect then calls pretending to be
the police and proceeds to give the victim instructions on where to wire the
bail money.
The suspects target
older folks, hoping they can gain an emotional and quick response to the
"need" to help out the young relative, and many times it works. The
victims will quickly go to their bank, withdraw and transfer the money in an
attempt to help, and by the time they realize the scam, the money has already
been picked up by the suspects and is gone.
It is so important to
spread awareness and to educate those that we know in hopes of preventing this
crime from happening. If you have a loved one, a friend, or perhaps a
neighbor that is older, share this information with them and help keep them
from becoming a victim.
