CURRENT: Grandparent Scams The Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) has reason to believe that a group of scammers is setting their sights on Oregon to perpetuate "grandparent scams." In grandparent scams, older adults are prompted to help a loved one (often a grandchild) who is in danger. The fraudster will ask you to provide cash, transfer or wire money, or give out private information. To protect yourself from this scam, remember to verify the caller's identity and confirm the story with other members of your family. Do not send cash, gift cards, or money transfers without confirmation of who will receive the funds. |
