The story began yesterday when Cecil received a phone call from a scam artist at this home who prey on senior citizens to play a sad tune that they are in need of money due to an accident or a tragic event in their family
The scam artist claimed to be a relative of Cecil who was involved in an auto accident that injured a driver of the other auto. Then the scam artist said his attorney needed Cecil to send him $2,300 dollars to bail his grandson of prison.
What happened next was when Cecil went to a Wal Store in Cincinnati to make the transaction of sending $2,300 to the scammer who claimed to be his grandson, Walmart cashier Auderlla Taylor told Cecil that the person who claimed to be his grandson could be a scam artist that preys on senior citizens during the Christmas holidays.
Audrella advised Cecil to go home and call up his relatives to make sure the story was legitimate, Cecil took Audrella’s advice and made a phone call to his relatives to ask if his grandson was really in trouble. Cecil found out that there was none of his relatives in trouble with the law when he made his phone call from home after he decided not to withdraw the $2,000 from the Walmart store.
Thanks to Audrella’s advice not to send money to anyone when it sounds fishy, Cecil was saved from making a con artist rich and he would wind up in poverty during the Christmas holidays.
