Regina Police are making the public aware about a scam that has resurfaced in the Queen City. Police say two cases of the “Grandparent” scam were reported on Friday alone. One of the cases was successful and the victim lost nearly $8,000 to fraud artist. Police say the “Grandparent” scam typically involves a phone call to an elderly person with the caller claiming to be a grandchild of the victim addressing him or her as grandpa or grandma. The victim then often gets caught up in the urgency of the situation and out of concern, sends money. It’s after the money is sent and the victim makes calls to other family and friends, realizing there’s no such event, when they realize they’ve been a victim of fraud. The RPS advises anyone who has been a victim of such a crime to report it to police.
