The US Postal Service delivered gifts to thousands of consumers last month who were victims of scams involving Moneygram. Millions of dollars are being returned to people who thought they lost it all.
Fraud victim Wanda Wood explained, “One morning I answered the phone… and this a young fella said “hi Grandma”…”
Wanda says the voice sounded like her grandson, Matt. She became concerned when he said he was in Canada and needed help: $4500 wired to him immediately.
“I really and truly thought it was Matt. The kid sounded like him,” said Wanda
She wired the money via Moneygram, but con artists intercepted it along with funds sent by hundreds of others who were targeted in the scheme.
