More than two dozen Canadian nationals have been indicted in a scam

3/8/2025

More than two dozen Canadian nationals have been indicted in a scam that aimed to defraud seniors in Vermont and other states. Federal authorities say between the summer of 2021 and last summer, the Canadian residents — all but one from Quebec — made calls from centers in and around Montreal claiming to be an elderly victim’s relative who needed money for bail after a car crash. The so-called “grandparent scam” defrauded older folks across the country out of more than $21 million. Nine others connected to the scam have already been arrested and were charged in federal court.
