Grandparent Scams are creepy....and REAL

So, while visiting my grandma today with my brother, my grandma received a phone call from an unknown number.

The caller on the phone said, "Hi, Grandma Lucey?"

She responded "yes".

Then he continued, "this is your favorite grandson," and started to talk about something about Canada.

My grandma kept repeating, "who is this?" to which the caller would just repeat "your favorite grandson!"

My grandma knew he was lying because of all days, her Grandson was actually sitting right in front of her in her living room.....and that is exactly what she told the man on the phone who then proceeded to hang up.

This is called the
Grandparent Scam (<---click here to read more) and I actually heard about this on the Today show months ago. This is when telephone schemers take advantage of seniors' emotional ties to grandchildren, by pretending to be them and then try to steal money from them.

And I witnessed it today, first hand, at my Grandma's......Thank god she is a sharp one and was able to tell right off the bat that she did not recognize the voice. But some other Grandparents may easily fall for this sick sick trick.

Pass this on to any old folks you love.
