phonescam (CSi)  The so-called “Grandparents Scam,”  has resurfaced.  The scam has an imposter  calling  a senior citizen who claims to be a grandchild in need of money.  Residents  asked to wire money or purchase a prepaid card should hang up, as this is a sure sign of a scam.  Unfortunately, it is hard for authorities to track the scammers since they use blocked numbers and impossible to get the money back once it is gone.
