Scam Alert - Please share

 Phone scams are nothing new however there is a scam going around and it has already cost several residents tens of thousands of dollars.
Scammers are calling Central New York residents posing as attorneys or police to report that a family member or loved one is in custody/jail and then asking the victim to retrieve large sums of cash to bail them out.
The scammers or their couriers are then *physically showing up to the victim's home to collect the payment in person.
For most of us this is an obvious scam. Just posting it on social media likely won't reach the people most likely to fall for it our vulnerable and elderly loved ones. Now would be a great time to take a moment to check in with those people in your life and let them know if they receive such a phone call to simply hang up the phone.
Additional information about the Grandparent Scam can be found on the Office of the Attorney General’s website https://ag.ny.gov/
New Yorkers who have been targeted by this scam are urged to file a complaint by completing and submitting a Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau online complaint form or by calling (800) 771-7755.
