Two items in the news of late should act as a reminder to all of us that there are folks out there willing to scam us for our money if we let them.First, an attempted fraud was reported to the Barton County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday. A caller to a Barton County resident said her grandson was in trouble in New Mexico and needed help. Wisely, the woman hung up before finding out what kind of “help” was wanted, and instead called her grandson, who said he was fine.The Barton County Sheriff’s Office said that the “Grandmother Scam” is a ploy by con artists, who pretend to call on behalf of a grandson who is in trouble.
