The “grandparent” scam: Don’t fall for it!

In collaboration with Sûreté du Québec, Réseau FADOQ is warning seniors about various types of scams in Quebec.

The “grandparent” scam is back with a vengeance. Fraudsters try to get money from seniors by pretending to be a family member in need.

In another common scam, seniors receive a call from bogus financial institution representatives claiming their cards have been defrauded.

To nip these fraud attempts in the bud, be vigilant and know how to respond:

Are you being asked to confirm or provide your personal and banking information?

  • Do not give out any personal or banking information over the phone.
  • Hang up. Find the official phone number of the institution that contacted you, call it, and ask whether the request is valid.
  • Never call a phone number the caller gives you.

Does your call display show an “official phone number?”

  • NEVER assume that the phone number on your Caller ID is accurate.
  • Fraudsters use software or apps to fool their victims.

Are you being asked to put your cards and PINs in an envelope?

  • Refuse and hang up. Fraudsters may be insistent or use false threats to make you cooperate.
  • Keep in mind that no financial institution (or government agency) does this.

Is a so-called family member (e.g., grandson, niece) in distress (e.g., car accident, in police custody, in the hospital) on the line, claiming to be in urgent need of money?

  • Take a moment to stop and think. Don’t send money, give out your credit card number, or buy a prepaid card (e.g., iTunes card) at the caller’s request.
  • Check out the caller’s story and identity by calling your friends and family.
  • Fraudsters may also pose as a police officer or lawyer to make their story sound more credible.
