Beware of Scams Targeting Grandparents

Minnesota grandparents report a new scam where a con artist impersonates a grandchild in distress. The con artist exploits the love and generosity of the grandparent by pretending to be a grandchild in trouble and in need of emergency funds. The fraudster then convinces the grandparent that they are assisting a grandchild to pay for transportation home from a foreign country, for medical treatment, or for bail.

The FBI reports the grandparent scam has been around for a few years— their Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has been receiving reports about it since 2008. Thanks to the Internet and social networking sites, criminals can sometimes uncover personal information about their targets, which makes the impersonations more believable. Sometimes they hack into people’s email accounts and send messages to everyone in their contact list.
