Have you talked with your parents or grandparents about scams? There are criminals that are always looking for new (and old) ways to scam you out of your money.
This week, a couple was called by a man who claimed to be with the DEA in Detroit. He said their nephew had been arrested and needed bail money. He even arranged for a courier service to come to the house and pick up the cash, $6,000.
After the money was picked up, the couple reached out to a family member and found out that they had been scammed. Fortunately, the courier service had left a business card.
EDSO found the courier and learned the money had already been placed on a plane with UPS. We were lucky that we were able to locate it and retrieve it. The money has been returned to the couple and a lesson learned.
Speak with your relatives. Have a plan for these situations. Please, don't give anything to someone you do not know and cannot verify.
