Elderly victims have lost more than $100,000 over 15 different incidents of ‘grandparent scams’ in the last week, Winnipeg police said during a press conference on Thursday. These types of scams involve criminals preying on the elderly by claiming to be a family member under arrest and in need of bail money or the legal representative of a loved one who has supposedly been detained.
