The Granny Scam
Grandparents watch out! You may be a target for one of the biggest scams-the grandparent scam. Folks are getting calls in the middle of the night. The caller will ask for grandma or grandpa. They will claim to be the person's grandchild who will say they are in jail (and do not tell mom). The caller will want you to head to the nearest Western Union. There are variations to this scam. In some cases the caller will pretend to be a lawyer or law enforcement calling on behalf of the grandchild.
