LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is once again reminding Michiganders to be on alert for grandparent and family emergency scams following recent reports of different variations of this scam.
In a consumer alert that was reissued today, Nessel provides tips on how to identify and avoid becoming victims of grandparent and family scams.
In a period of five days, two mid-Michigan mothers each received calls from purported kidnappers demanding a ransom for their daughters’ return. In each instance, the caller knew the daughter’s name and demanded payment by wire.
