Con artists are constantly devising new schemes to separate people from their money. One recent scam involves someone showing up at a home, often targeting elderly residents, while pretending to be a police officer.
The imposter typically claims a relative was involved in a fatal crash as a way to pressure the victim into handing over money. Awareness is the best defense, so it’s wise to verify any such claim directly with authorities before acting.
