Goshen Chief of Police Fred Bezio has alerted the COA that several local older adults have been targets of “grandparent scams”in which scammers pose as grandchildren in trouble (or their lawyers) and demand money to be sent by wire, mail, or couriers. The FBI offers these tips: limit personal information posted to social media, hang up on suspicious calls from someone claiming to be a family member and calling that person directly, and never share financial information over the phone. Chief Bezio is available to help investigate potential scams: 413-268-3116.
