Every year, senior citizens lose millions of dollars to the "grandparent scam." They get a call from someone they believe is their grandchild who says they are in trouble in another country and in desperate need of money. Because many college-age grandchildren travel abroad it is easy to fool a well-meaning grandparent. This scam has been around for years and is alive and well. The University of Washington and the Washington Attorney General's office are trying to stop it. UW|360 will show you how it works and how to avoid it.
