What to watch for:

• Caller claims to be your grandchild or a lawyer/police officer on their behalf.
• You’re told not to speak to anyone and to withdraw or send money urgently.
• A “courier” may be sent to your home to collect cash.

REMEMBER:

• Police will never demand cash or send someone to your home to pick up money.
• Always verify the caller by reaching out to family or contacting police directly.
• If in doubt—hang up and call us.

Let’s protect our loved ones, especially seniors, by spreading the word.
