: Misleading Advertising LawRipoff Artists Target Grandparents
Image via Wikipedia
From the FTC Press Release:
A scammer calls posing as a grandchild in distress, and tries to put the squeeze on the grandparent to wire money for repairing a car, paying a fine, or getting out of trouble in a foreign country.
The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, has some advice to avoid being taken in by a supposed "family" member or a fake emergency: Check out the facts before you send money to anyone, anywhere - especially when wire transfers are involved.
To learn more, see the consumer alert "A Scam Based on Relative-ity: Would-be Grandchildren Bilking Honest Grandparents"
