Willows' Residents Victims of Fraud
by Betty Everett
Be alert to telephone calls that begin "Hi Grandma!" Recent calls of this type have turned out to be frauds from people pretending to be relatives. If you are called, receive an email or letter purportedly from a relative, check it out! Do not call a telephone number that the caller has given you - it will be false if the caller is a fraud. Call another relative who might know the location of the calling relative. Be absolutely sure that you are not a victim of a fraud and in this way you will "hold crime in check".
