How do these Scammers know if someone has grandchildren Some do not!
Apparently they go on Facebook and other sites and do their research. It’s like putting together a big puzzle.
I don’t do Facebook or any others but have had 3 calls like that
who hands a random person 8000$ dressed like that and isn’t even parked in your driveway. if your that gullible you deserve it. regardless of age!
I too wonder how anyone could be so gullible. I would be doing a follow up about the information if I had grandchildren. I am not a very trusting person & I am a Senior
Why didn’t they call the grandchild to confirm the story? Or someone else like his parents, siblings etc.
@Val Strambu I was wondering the same
thats soooooo messed up..
Guess picking up a phone to verify the claim was too hard for him, got what he deserved.
Why would you NOT check about your grandchild’s situation before giving money to a stranger. Phone your son/daughter and speak with them…..DO NOT HAND YOUR MONEY OR BANKING INFORMATION TO STRANGERS!!
Exactly..got a call..told caller I’m calling your DAD
