Police received multiple calls Wednesday in the Chippewa Falls area that they were scammed in the so called “grandparents scam.”
The scam works when someone calls pretending to be their grandchild. They claim that they have been put in jail and need money. These days, con artists will even utilize artificial intelligence to make the voice seem like their grandchildren. Chippewa Falls police have instructed people who do get these calls to just hang up.
