Even so we are all required to take training courses each year to help recognize these potential scams so I'm relieved to see the training is paying off. I'm glad that you had some family members and some alert WU agents that caught this before it got out of control. It is sad that people prey on those who are weaker like the elderly. I hope J's grandparents are doing ok after this.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921622971820454507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808111737268279396.post-73663188544384131092010-09-05T09:18:07.837-05:002010-09-05T09:18:07.837-05:00I really hope it was just be a horrible coincidenc...I really hope it was just be a horrible coincidence(?). I'm so glad his grandmother is better. That's terrible.<br /><br />A few months ago someone hacked my Aunt's BFF's FB page and IM'd her saying she was stuck in England and lost her wallet and needed $1800.00 to stay in a hotel until she could get her would have happily obliged the money if she passport from the embassy. Of course my aunt hadn't actually spoken with her friend just 6 hours prior to the IM. <br /><br />People can be so awful.Just_Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827529963188393546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808111737268279396.post-76272778379407618902010-09-05T07:28:03.992-05:002010-09-05T07:28:03.992-05:00I am so glad J’s grandmother is doing better. Wha...I am so glad J’s grandmother is doing better. What a horrible story. Unfortunately, I think that this is more common than you would want to think. I work with someone that had the same thing happen to one of his family member. I hate when people prey on the elderly and kids. It is just so sad and cruel.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938287202761607041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808111737268279396.post-11625786032568929012010-09-05T04:09:30.620-05:002010-09-05T04:09:30.620-05:00and I'm really glad his grandmother is ok!and I'm really glad his grandmother is ok!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808111737268279396.post-56634567198112121762010-09-05T04:08:55.940-05:002010-09-05T04:08:55.940-05:00That's really scary!
