Scams Galore
Tis the season.
The scammers are out in full force. They have all sort of clever ways to scare old people.
One tip off is when they need immediate payment, by Western Union, Green Dot cards, or now gift cards. This is not how anyone legitimate works.
If you get a call that a grandchild has been kidnapped, or arrested, or the IRS needs payment today * , ask for a call back number and hang up. Then make calls to find out where your family is really at.
Do not be alarmed into making a terrible mistake.
*the IRS never initiates contact via telephone, always by mail
