Please be advised that the Walpole Police Department has received several fraud cases involving the following circumstances:
- Unannounced phone call from a "grandchild"
- "Grandchild" claims to be out of the country (typically Canada)
- They are in jail, and need money wired for bail
Unsuspecting grandparents are asked to wire several thousand dollars using a local wire transfer company (ie.Western Union, MoneyGram).
They may also say they are out of the country on "spring break". They may ask to keep the situation quiet so they don't get "in trouble" with their parents. They may say further contact is not possible since they are in "jail". They may offer to give the phone to a "police officer" if you don't believe them.
Please be aware of this situation, and know that from all reports, the callers are extremely convincing, often knowing the real name of the grandchild, and even the college which they attend.
If you have any questions, or need help with a similar situation, you are welcome to call the Walpole Police Department for assistance.
