Watch out for the scam where they call you as a grandson or other relative that has been in an emergency and needs money wired to them. We have gotten it twice. They start out by saying "hi, grandpa" or "grandma". They give you a fictitious scenario and of course, you want to help whoever is in trouble. We discovered they won't give their name until you inadvertantly give it to them. We have caught on at the last minute, and then hung up. But we were sucked in to the beginning of the call - it sounded realistic.
