This Seniors Month, let's talk about staying safe. Grandparent scams are targeting our older adults. Awareness is your best defense.
How It Works:
Scammers call claiming to be a grandchild in legal trouble, asking for urgent money via wire transfer, crypto or gift cards. They pressure you to keep it secret.
Don't Fall for It:
• Hang up and verify – Call your grandchild directly to confirm the story
• Ask questions – If they say "It's me," ask which grandchild is calling
• Set a family password – Agree on a code word for real emergencies
• Never rush – Legitimate agencies don't send couriers for cash payments
• Never send money - Lawyers and police don't collect money this way
If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your instincts and reach out to family or authorities. Stay informed. Stay safe. Protect what matters.
