Grandma scams occur when fraudsters contact elderly people and pose as their grandchild in distress, requesting money to solve a problem. To prevent grandma scams, here are some measures that you can take:
- Confirm their identity: Ask for details that only your grandchild would know, such as their middle name or the name of their pet.
- Verify the situation: Verify the situation with other family members before sending any money.
- Don’t send money: Never send money without verifying the situation first.
- Report suspicious behavior: If you suspect someone is a fraudster, report them to the appropriate authorities.
By following these measures, you can protect yourself from falling victim to these scams
