No, Your Grandchild Isn’t in Jail: Avoiding the Grandparent Scam

Scammers are getting smarter—and more manipulative. Imagine getting a call from a loved one in distress, begging for help. Your instincts tell you to act fast, but what if it’s not really them? This episode dives into the world of grandparent scams, a deceptive trick designed to prey on emotions and urgency.


We’ll cover:

  • How fraudsters make their scams sound so convincing
  • The red flags to watch for before sending money.
  • Why seniors are often targeted and how to protect them.
  • Steps to take if you or someone you love receives one of these calls.

  • Don’t let scammers take advantage of your kindness. Stay informed, stay cautious, and visit our Fraud Awareness page at www.tandia.com for more tips on protecting yourself and your loved ones from fraud.
