A Toronto woman drained her credit card, stuffed $12,500 in cash inside a magazine and shipped it through UPS to a man she thought was her jailed nephew's lawyer — only to find she'd been scammed. When this woman came in with this urgent package, what do you remember about her? The gandparent scam is when fraudsters call elderly people and pretend to be their grandchild or another relative in need of quick cash. She called, I answered the phone and I remember her calling and she said she needed to stop the package. I called UPS, told them exactly the situation, that the package is fraud, but it looks like it's still hasn't been delivered.
