Elderly residents of San Angelo are the target of something known as the "Grandparent Scam." Police say victims are called by someone claiming to represent a grandchild who is in trouble, has been in an accident or is in jail and, in any case, needs money. Since March of last year, there have been nine such cases reported with a total of more than 32-thousand dollars scammed from elderly persons. San Angelo police have tips to avoid such scams which you can find on their Facebook page.
