Advisory
Don't be rushed into wiring money to a "grandchild" in jail or a crash overseas this is a scam directed at seniors
2 Westlake seniors have gotten calls in the last 2 days from scammers pretending to be their grandchildren who need money due to being arrested or in a car crash in a foreign country. Neither senior fell for it. Before sending money anywhere in response to an unexpected phone call, do like former President Reagan said: “Trust but Verify”.
Follow the FBI’s advice before giving up your hard-earned savings to a con man.
