[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1672840, member: 24027"] Just a little PSA that direct-person phone scams are still alive and well. The father of one of my friends fell for the "Grandparent Scam", where a caller (in this case, female) identifies herself as the grandchild that has been arrested (or hospitalized, or held for ransom) and pleads for the grandparent to wire money. And don't tell my parents! My friends father is a retired Lieutenant Colonel and Psychologist; clearly and educated man. But he was well aware that his granddaughter had substance abuse problems and all logic ceased to exist. He actually wired the money. Please make sure your parents and elderly loved ones are aware of all the scams. Never, ever send money or give our personal information!!! There's a lot of information on the AARP website, as well as the FCC and FTC. [/QUOTE]
