Police are warning the public that the Grandparent scam is back in the province. St. John’s RNC says they received two reports of loss of money after seniors got a phone call from someone saying they were a family member in need of help. Police say the caller gives directions on how to send money. Earlier this year over a four-day period, the RNC investigated multiple reports of this scam in the capital city resulting in the arrest of an Ontario man. Police say if you receive such a phone call, end the call and contact your loved one directly. The RNC requests that anyone with information connected to this scam contact the RNC at 729-8000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
