Scammers are banking on your love and concern to outweigh your skepticism. In one version of this scam, con artists impersonate grandchildren in distress to trick concerned grandparents into sending money. Sometimes, this is called a “Grandparent Scam.”
Con artists may insist that you keep their request for money confidential – to keep you from checking out their story and identifying them as imposter's. Victims of this scam often don’t realize they’ve been tricked until days later, when they speak to their actual family member or friend who knows nothing about the “emergency.” By then, the money they sent can't be recovered.
Remember, if you believe you are being scammed or have been scammed or get a call, check with relatives first even though they tell you not too and call your local police as soon as possible.
