Police are reminding everyone to remain wary of this crime, as criminals keep targeting seniors for money
Another reminder from police for seniors and their loved ones to remain vigilant concerning the Grandparent Scam.
The NRP tells us criminals are still phoning elderly people, posing as a grandchild or another family member, and sounding urgent in needing legal help.
The caller claims to be in a vehicle collision, or facing criminal charges, and needs immediate financial help.
The NRP adds sometimes a 2nd person joins the call, claiming to be a police officer, or lawyer, to back up the bogus claim.
Victims are pressured to provide large sums of money, and arrange a transfer, and urged not to tell anyone about the call.
