I hope you all can read this article I cut out of the Orange County Register today about “Scammers have revised pitch to seniors”. You may have to zoom in.

THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO A DISTANT RELATIVE!! They got a call from their supposed grandson in the Bahamas, who REALLY sounded like him, requesting $7,000 because he was caught with drugs and needed money for bail-out. They were told to wire the money to a certain location. Their grandson was actually on vacation but not in the Bahamas and the grandparents didn’t actually know his location……so they panicked and sent off the money. They later found out that their grandson was in Wisconsin……What a horrible thing to happen!

I'm writing this to inform everyone who has kids/grandkids to not panic if they get one these phone calls.
