Grandparent Scams
On February 24, 2023, police received four reports of victims who had been defrauded of money because of a recent grandparent scam. The victims lost money ranging from $5000-$11,000. In each case the victims received a phone call claiming their relative was in some type of trouble and needing financial assistance. A suspect attended to the homes of the victims and personally collected the money. Another individual claiming to be a lawyer then contacted the victims requesting more money.
Police continue to investigate these frauds. If you suspect that you or someone you know has been the victim of something similar, please contact Brandon Police Service or the police in your jurisdiction.
