[quote=Anonymous]One scam they do with information from obituaries: When the obituaries list the grandchildren and their names, the scammers will look up the grandchildren's social media accounts to see which ones are in college or around that age. The scammer then calls the surviving spouse and pretends to be the grandchild. They tell "grandma" or "grandpa" that they were on a trip with friends but got arrested. They beg their "grandparent" not to tell mom and dad, but they need money for bail. https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/scam-alert/grandparent-scams-get-more-sophisticated [/quote]
