TTHE OFFICE OF TED HEAP, HARRIS COUNTY CONSTABLE PRECINCT 52+ weeks agoAgencyPrecinct 5 Protection Plan: The 'Emergency' Scam Precinct 5 reminds our senior citizens to watch for so-called "Grandparent" or "Emergency" scams. These scams can be costly, not to mention embarrassing. But many smart people are duped and victimized through these illegal cons every day. The Grandparent scam often preys on older people, playing off their emotions and sense of family loyalty. Con artists will call or email their targeted victims, letting them know that a grandchild or other relative has supposedly been injured, robbed or arrested while traveling overseas and needs money ASAP for bail money, lawyer’s fees, hospital bills or another fictitious expense. The victim is urged not to tell anyone, such as the grandchild’s parent, because they don’t want them to find out about the trouble they’ve supposedly gotten into. The grandparent is often tricked out of thousands of dollars. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the median financial loss from these scams is $2,000, and, for those 70 years old and older, the median is $9,000. To detect and avoid the “Emergency” Scam: • Beware of any urgent solicitation of funds, especially if it is needed to pay for unexpected bills such as bail money, lawyer’s fees or doctor bills. • Even if you feel the call is legitimate, independently contact the relative the con artist is claiming to be, or to represent, at a known phone number to verify the details of the story. • Scam artists’ payment method of choice is the wire transfer. Any urgent request to wire money should be treated suspiciously. • These scams often call late at night in an attempt to confuse their potential victims. • If you are a victim of this scam, contact Precinct 5 or your local law enforcement agency immediately. Constable Ted Heap’s Victims Assistance Unit can help those who are victims of these crimes and many others as well. This includes information on your rights as a victim, assistance with crime victims compensation, support in navigating the criminal justice system, information on agencies that support crime victims, and accompaniment to court and medical facilities as requested by law enforcement or victims. #Precinct5protects Please contact our Victims Assistance Office for more information at 281-578-2513.
