This Grandma Almost Lost $10,000
Seniors don’t understand technology very well and they trust easily which is why they are every scammer’s favorite target. This person’s grandmother got a phone call from a male who simply said “Grandma?” after she said hello. She thought it was one of her grandsons by the name of Taylor. Fake Taylor went on to tell her that he was in deep trouble in Mexico and needed $10,000 urgently or someone would hurt him.
He asked her to get the cash and told her that someone would come by that afternoon to collect it. Luckily, the bank teller asked her why she was withdrawing so much money and got the cops involved. They waited with her at her home but no one showed up probably because they saw the cop car. Thank goodness for the quick-thinking bank teller.
