“a 80 year old lady got a call fro m a fruadster saying he was her grandson and needed money but dont tell anyone she went to bank good thing the bank got wind of the scam and called police”

This grandchild/elderly scam is popping up all over the country right now.

I can't believe people can be on earth for 80 years and still get scammed. Didn't she recognize her own grandson's voice and realize it wasn't him?

BTW, on the same note, I still can't believe old people get hooked in by the Canadian Lottery scam. Put stupidity and greed together and you get taken. And there are STILL people waiting for their Nigerian cash transfers.
