KENOSHA, Wis. — Two elderly victims were targeted for potential fraud that occurred on Sept. 12, according to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department.
The victims were called by an "attorney" claiming to call on behalf of their arrested grandchild who required bail money.
Money was to be withdrawn in cash and the victims were instructed to meet up with a "bail bondsman" at the victim's homes.
The suspects parked from a distance of the houses and called the "attorney." The meetings ended with the exchange of large sums of cash.
The State of Wisconsin does not practice the use of bail bondsmen. All bail is posted at the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department.
