The Clinton Police Department would like to warn the public that the Grandparent Scam is going around Henry County.
The Police warn If you ever get a call from or about a grandchild or any other relative in danger or trouble, and the immediate request is for cash, you need to pause, calm yourself, say you will have to consult another family member first, and hang up. Then check.

If the emergency is by any chance real, you can still respond appropriately. If it's not—and the odds point to that—congratulate yourself. You just avoided being on next year's FTC list of those victimized by impostors.
BE ALERT AND BE AWARE!
