Beware of the “Grandparent” Scam!
Beware of the “Grandparent” Scam!
🔴 Beware of the “Grandparent” Scam!
Scammers are targeting senior citizens by pretending to be a grandchild or a lawyer calling on their behalf. They say your loved one is in trouble — maybe in jail, hurt, or needs urgent help — and beg you to send money immediately.
❌ They’ll often say:
-
“Don’t tell anyone — it’s a secret.”
-
“I’m in trouble and need cash for bail, rent, or a lawyer.”
-
“Please wire money or send it through UPI/Paytm fast.”
🛑 Stop. Think. Verify.
Call your grandchild or a trusted family member before taking any action. Always double-check.
