Scam of the Week

Grandparent Phone Scam

Scammers call pretending to be a grandchild in trouble — often claiming they've been in an accident or arrested. They beg you not to tell anyone and ask for money via gift cards or wire transfers.

How to protect yourself: Always verify by calling your grandchild directly. Never send money based on a phone call alone. Report suspicious calls to the FTC.
